2020 was not an easy year. Each and every one of us tried to adapt to new situations and challenges. Looking back in 2020, in Logstail we are proud of the progress we made concerning value to our customers. Our platform has become more mature, new features are added according to our customers’ needs and this is giving us the willingness to try and add additional functionalities for the digital transformation which is coming.

We are optimistic that the new year will give us some of the nice things we missed. At the beginning of 2021, it is a good opportunity to highlight some of the features we added which bring our platform to a whole new level and set high targets for the things to come. Let’s begin…

We launched our new platform!

We’ve just released the 2021 version of Logstail platform which includes a ton of features! New User Interface with improved functionality, Insights (Machine Learning), Reporting, Email Alerting, Extended team collaboration, and Improved Security are only some of the new features of our platform. You can read more about the features of the new platform in our blog article. If you haven’t tried it, then go ahead and sign up!

 

New User Interface

 

Logstail now offers a completely new user interface with added functionalities. Our fresh UI incorporates a handful of features to help you and your team for even more effective log management. The response is snappier, the graphical user interface is modern and you get all the information you need at a glance of an eye!  Also, you can track the data usage of Logstail very easily in a comprehensive dashboard immediately when you log in to the platform!

 

Insights (Machine Learning)

 

Machine learning and automation is something every organization needs nowadays. The vast amount of data produced and the need for automation are making the employment of Machine Learning techniques a necessity. We now offer the Insights feature to provide granular insights from high-volume log streams by identifying and isolating anomalies from IP addresses or hostnames. You can save time and resources by identifying the problem in less time and mitigating it before it gets a real issue for your infrastructure. More info here

 

Email Alerting

Our alerting mechanism was already very useful for teams, enabling them to monitor their data and send alert notifications automatically to initiate actions. From now on we offer one additional option, the possibility to be alerted by email. By adding this option along with Slack and Webhook which are already in place, you now have a wide range of choices to utilize the alerting mechanism! Read more here

 

Reporting

 

Reporting is an essential element of any professional monitoring or log management tool. The reason is that the produced reports from our platform can provide a clear picture to the engineers or the administration about the reliability posture of the company. We significantly enhanced our reporting feature and now we can offer new choices like the ability to create PNG, PDF, and CSV reports. You can find more about reporting here!

 

Notebooks

 

Logstail Notebooks is one more feature that facilitates the reporting capabilities. Notebooks enable contextual use of data with detailed explanations by allowing a user to combine saved visualizations, text, graphs and decorate data in Elastic with other reference data sources. 

 

Extended team collaboration

Log management and infrastructure monitoring is a team game.  The need for team collaboration was a customer-requested feature. Infrastructure monitoring and cybersecurity, require teamwork to quickly resolve issues. That’s why we have focused on adding additional features and apart from the existing alerting choices, now you can invite another user to join your working environment!

 

New collection of Apps (Prebuilt Dashboards)

If you don’t remember what a dashboard is, you can refer to our detailed article in our blog. Dashboards are extremely useful to get an overview of all logs being shipped to the platform and correlations among them. Based on our customers’ needs, we created new useful Apps, and then we offer them to all other users of the platform!
