Syslog servers often store messages to local log files, making it difficult to consolidate messages from multiple devices.
Different devices may use different syslog implementations, resulting in different log files or formats.
If a problem occurs, it may take hours or days to track down the source of the issue by hand.
Using local syslog servers might work for small deployments, but it simply isn't feasible at scale. Syslog services from Papertrail free you from having to remotely connect to servers to read log messages. Consolidate and access logs from your servers, workstations, firewalls, routers, and other devices or services from a single UI. Your messages are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket, helping ensure high availability without compromising your security. Papertrail supports syslogd, rsyslog, syslog-ng, and other syslog utilities.
