We’ve been working on a few new features that will dramatically increase the speed at which logs are searched and enhance visibility into log volume. These features are immediately available to new customers and will be rolled out to existing customers in the coming weeks.
Papertrail now officially supports automated setup of the remote_syslog2 logging daemon with Chef, Puppet, and Salt: chef-papertrail puppet-papertrail salt-papertrail
