Applications logs stored across multiple Droplets can complicate troubleshooting
With logs generated in high volumes around the clock, it can be difficult to filter our normal events to quickly spot problems
Large variety of logs types across multiple sources makes it difficult to trace issues and understand root cause
SolarWinds® Papertrail™ is easy to set up and implement. With a powerful and simple search, you can search hours of logs in a few seconds. Start with text searches to quickly find matching log messages and combine query strings using Boolean operators to zero in on issues. Use time-based filters to narrow your search to events taking place over a specific period. Save searches, assign them a schedule to quickly turn them into alerts, and receive notifications over email, Slack, or PagerDuty.

You can send logs to Papertrail via the syslog protocol using various libraries and frameworks for your programming language and runtime. You can also use the standalone remote_syslog2 daemon to forward logs to Papertrail. Papertrail provides a unified management interface to your logs to simplify access management and make it easy to set global log retention policies.

High-performance log tailing with intuitive controls allows you to pause, search, scroll, and click on log elements from multiple sources in real time. Creating filters based on custom fields such as session ID lets you quickly piece together messages from the same request and find the root cause of an incident.
