Top Centralized Logging Features

retrace-log-management-search (2)
Advanced Searching and Filtering

Full text searching is available for your log messages as well as filtering on any fields captured. Several quick filters are easily accessible for things like app name, environment, server name, log type, and log levels. 

Enhanced Log Viewing

Perhaps the most low tech feature, but one of the most helpful.

  • JSON viewer
  • Colored log levels & #tags
  • View related log messages
retrace log management tailing video
Real-time Log Tailing

Trying to troubleshoot something in production? Use Retrace to search and filter for exactly what you are looking for and then turn on tailing mode. The log viewer will automatically update with new logs.

Structured Logging

Go beyond saving a basic log message to separating out key data, in a structured way, that can be useful for searching and log analysis. It doesn’t really take any more time to do and can enable an amazing amount of functionality from your log data.

Log.Debug("Test model object", new {test=”Hello World”, testInt=100, testBool = true});
Use Tagging in Your Logs #awesomesauce

All you have to do is put a # in your logs and Retrace will take care of the rest.

  • Highlighted in the log viewer
  • Search by tags
  • Organize your logs
View Where Your Logs Came from in Your Code

Some logging frameworks can track and report where the log messages originated from in your code. Being able to track where your logs come from can be very valuable for tracking down bugs.

Explore All of Your Logging Fields

Retrace has many built-in fields for basic server info, errors, web logs, and Windows events. The field explorer makes it easy to see all the fields that exist and add them to log viewer for display.

Get Analytics from Your Logs

For every field you can track every how often specific values are being logged. This is  especially useful for a simple example like a type of error.

Monitor Your Logs

Search your logs for exactly what you are trying to find and save it within Retrace. You can then setup a monitor to run this query every few minutes and alert you if it finds a certain amount of results. 

If your app logs a certain message that is really important for you to be aware of, this is an invaluable feature!

Works with Your Stack

Retrace works out of the box with popular programming languages, as well as common frameworks, such as:

  • Syslog
  • Web server logs
  • Windows events
  • …and more
