Many syslog servers store messages to local files, resulting in decentralization.
Servers like rsyslog write events to different files based on facility, further adding complexity.
Finding events, configuring alerts, and setting global policies can become more difficult as your infrastructure grows.
Send events from your servers, workstations, printers, routers, and other devices or services directly to our cloud syslog service. Create an endpoint and immediately begin sending log events. Transmit logs over UDP or TCP with TLS encryption for greater security. The Papertrail solution supports both RFC 5424 and RFC 3164 for compatibility with different syslog implementations, libraries, and frameworks.

Instead of hunting through files in /var/log, use the Papertrail Event Viewer to see all of your log messages simultaneously. Filter logs based on date, sender, facility, priority, or message content. Create alerts to detect and notify you of application errors, hardware failures, or other high-priority events.

Set up global retention policies, automate backup and archive generation, and define per-user access permissions. When your logging requirements change, simply save your settings in Papertrail and your new policy is applied instantly.
