Log and Event management platform Logmatic.io - Review

System administrators and software application developers both would understand the importance of being able to accurately analyze the system and application logs because that is probably the second most effort taking task after the deployment or development work itself. These logs are invaluable data for any organization. These provide invaluable insights into system issues, performance and other significant information which is required throughout the life cycle of a product. Logmatic.io is such an operations data platform software that can leverage all these records, metrics and system functions from various system environments to give highly useful data insights and patterns of your product.

Installation and usability

Logmatic.io feature highlights

• Very practical tool especially for system administrators and people working in a non-GUI environment where logs are everything for you. You can easily connect your system to automatically send log files, system events, machine events and metric data to a remote server for much more easy analysis.


• Logmatic.io has in-built intelligence to recognize different types of data like from Apache servers, IIS Windows servers, Linux Crond, Linux Sudo, Firewalls, Syslogs, JSON events, Fail2Ban action attributes and many more!
  


• Enrichment and Parsing - Large amount of raw data can be converted into easily understandable structured data. Using dynamic tagging you can easily track requests and transactions by the server. You can define your own patterns for data parsing and use it comfortably as a log analyzer.


• Easy alerts and triaging - You can set flexible alerts using different queries created using the search and metrics option. Just like a cronjob you can set up a scheduled report delivery on email. Any abnormal behavior can be tracked down to its source by analyzing all actions during the time period from the Logmatic.io GUI itself.


• Multiple data sources can be added for example if you have different departments in your organization then you can configure them all to work with Logmatic.io


• You can use capabilities of Logmatic.io by shipping your logs by configuring your environment, directly from the Source code, from Client browsers and devices, by Databases or even manually by using HTTP/s or TCP API.


• Using Logmatic for any computer engineering person is very simple. There is no learning curve to this at all and within a few minutes one can set up Logmatic and get it running.


• All team members can be added to a project by the user with administrator role. For each user a security filter can be set up so that only the need-to-know data is shown to a particular team member.


• The analyzed data is visualized with help of pie charts, graphs, sums, averages, percentages, geo maps, flow charts and time series. Easily shareable dashboards and data monitoring across the stack helps you triage events in realtime and with quite a ease.


• If your code is in Python, you can make use of Logmatic.io to handle your Python logging by making use of Python handlers to send the logs.
