Locating the right log during troubleshooting involves painstakingly searching across your infrastructure.
Correlating events by hand is time consuming and often increases mean time to resolution (MTTR).
Without a way to monitor all of your logs, it can be easy to miss important patterns and trends.
When ASP.NET Core logs are scattered over your infrastructure, analysis becomes much harder. By aggregating all of your logs into one place, you can build an infrastructure-wide view of your apps and services and simplify analysis. Send all your logs to SolarWinds® Papertrail™ using NLog, log4net, or the SimpleSysLog package. Transmit logs over UDP or TCP with TLS encryption with improved security. Logs are stored in the cloud, so you’ll never run out of storage space. Plus, by hosting your ASP.NET logs in the cloud, searching through them is extremely fast. You can easily archive your log data and perform long-term analysis. You can control access to your log data based on your team roles. Provide read-only or full access and use log groups to assign access based on collections of log files.

The simple search syntax in Papertrail lets you cut through the noise to focus on the relevant log messages during troubleshooting. Use simple strings to search for error messages or application names and combine them with Boolean operators to create powerful queries. Narrow down your searches by using attributes to match based on specific field values such as sender or program. Apply filters to the live stream of events and make real-time log analysis manageable. You can filter based on time, origin, or even custom fields such as session ID. The live tail feature in Papertrail lets you view and filter log messages as they’re received. Pause, search, and scroll through the live feed or pipe the output to the command line using the Papertrail CLI and get real-time insights into the behavior and health of your apps and services.

Papertrail allows you to transform your saved searches into alerts, so you can identify problems and worrying trends before your users. By assigning schedules to your saved searches you can run them every minute, hour, or day and build monitoring solutions to track critical events, such as fatal error conditions, and more high-level metrics such as daily user statistics. Receive alert notifications over email or via third-party collaboration tools such as Slack, PagerDuty, and Campfire. If you run your own monitoring solutions you can also send alerts to custom HTTP webhooks. And if you need a way to view your log data over a period of time you can generate interactive visualizations and charts from your log data. These charts include clickable elements to make it trivial to switch from big-picture view to low-level event details.
