In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, efficient log management is crucial for businesses to ensure the smooth functioning of their IT infrastructure. SolarWinds Loggly emerges as a powerful solution, offering robust log management and analysis capabilities. In this blog, we will explore the features, benefits, and how Loggly can elevate your organization's log management game. 
In the dynamic landscape of IT operations, application management, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), the challenges posed by diverse infrastructure and application environments are ever-growing. With on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud setups, teams often find themselves grappling with a deluge of unrelated events, issues, and logs. The repercussions of any outage or slowdown are keenly felt in terms of lost productivity or revenue. Rapid diagnosis and resolution across the continually evolving components supporting web applications, services, and infrastructure are imperative. 
SolarWinds Loggly, a cost-effective, hosted, and scalable full-stack, multi-source log management solution. This innovative platform seamlessly integrates powerful search and analytics with comprehensive alerting, dashboarding, and reporting capabilities, enabling teams to proactively identify problems and drastically reduce Mean Time to Repair (MTTR). 

Loggly Features

Let's take a look at the features.

Efficient Large-Scale Search

Effortlessly process extensive data volumes for quick searches across intricate environments, identifying interconnected services, events, and issues promptly. 

Interactive Dashboards for Sharing

Create user-friendly dashboards to monitor application health, behavior, and trends. Utilize prebuilt dashboards for key performance indicators (KPIs) and statistics. Share dashboards easily via email or collaboration platforms like HipChat or Slack.

Anomaly Detection and Alerts

Loggly learns normal log data patterns, detecting deviations to uncover unexpected or suspicious events before they escalate. Set up alerts based on search patterns, specific log metrics thresholds, or other conditions. 

Dynamic Field Explorer

Loggly automatically analyzes and summarizes log data upon reception, providing insights before formulating queries. Quickly identify unusual event counts or outliers and delve into relevant data with just a few clicks. 

Swift Identification of Issues

Utilize surround search capabilities to view events in operational context across all aggregated logs, enabling the rapid pinpointing of bottlenecks and failure points.  

Collaborative Platform

Loggly offers customizable, easy-to-use dashboards and visualizations of aggregated data across the entire stack, facilitating collaboration among stakeholders. 

Unified Metrics and Logs Collection

Streamline troubleshooting by employing a shared intelligent agent (also used by SolarWinds AppOptics) for collecting logs from custom applications, filtering log files, and gathering metrics efficiently. 

Integration with AppOptics

Enhance observability with integrated time-series infrastructure and application performance data. SolarWinds AppOptics appends a unique trace ID to log lines, simplifying troubleshooting. The integration also provides trace context in SolarWinds Loggly by searching on the trace ID, significantly reducing application performance troubleshooting time.
