Here's How Papertrail Helps
Aggregate your logs
Logs from multiple libraries and software services are often scattered across servers. By consolidating your logs into one place, you can quickly search through them and analyze your apps and services without having to remotely connect to individual servers. All your front-end logs are stored in the cloud, so you don’t have to worry about running out of space. Using the cloud to store your data also means you can archive your log files for long-term analysis, and log archiving in SolarWinds® Papertrail™ allows you to control global retention policies in one place. You can manage access to your front-end logs by assigning users read-only or full access to individual log files or groups of files using the log groups feature.

Trim noisy logs with filters
When searching through aggregated logs, you need a way to ignore the noise and zero in on the most important log messages. With Papertrail, you can use a simple search query syntax to pull out just the log messages you need. You can further refine your results by using filters based on time, origin, or custom fields such as session ID. Search attributes allow you to match specific field in log messages which makes finding results faster. Regular expressions provide a way to further refine search results by matching whatever combination of characters and strings you need. ANSI color support means you can highlight parts of your log messages, so you won’t miss important messages and can easily spot what you’re looking for. You can pipe and redirect search query output to the command line using the Papertrail CLI.

Connect related log messages
Papertrail provides an easy way to view related log messages with just a few clicks. Use the context links feature to quickly narrow down your log messages to individual machines or IP addresses, which is great for troubleshooting server crashes or analyzing all requests from a specific IP. Context links also allow you to build an infrastructure-wide history, so you can see all related messages regardless of which server they came from. Establishing a chain of events and identifying the root cause of issues has never been easier, even for complex apps with large log files. It’s easy to return only parts of multi-line exceptions when searching, but with context links, you can see multi-line exceptions in full by clicking on the log sender. That way, you won’t miss essential context when troubleshooting.
