Shipping Your Logs to Retrace is Easy
Retrace supports common logging frameworks for most programming languages. A simple configuration change is all that is needed.
- Programming language specific libraries
- Web server logs
- Syslog
- Windows Events
Logging libraries for many other languages are also supported in addition to our REST API.
Retrace supports Java logs via logback, log4j, or our Java SDK.
Example configuration for log4j:
<appender name="Stackify" class="com.stackify.log.log4j12.StackifyLogAppender"> <param name="apiKey" value="YOUR_ACTIVATION_KEY"/> </appender> <root> <appender-ref ref="Stackify" /> </root>
Retrace supports .NET logs via log4net, NLog, Serilog, or our .NET SDK.
Example configuration for log4net:
<log4net> <root> <level value="DEBUG" /> <appender-ref ref="StackifyAppender" /> </root> <appender name="StackifyAppender" type="StackifyLib.log4net.StackifyAppender, StackifyLib.log4net" /> </log4net>
Retrace supports PHP logs via Monolog, log4php and Syslog.
Retrace supports Node.js logs via Winston.
Retrace supports Ruby logs via the Rails logger.
Advanced searching and filtering
To simplify troubleshooting and expedite issue resolution, advanced, full-text searching is available for your log messages, as well as filtering on any fields captured. Several quick filters help you quickly and easily identify where to focus for remediating issues.
Enhanced log viewing
Perhaps the most low tech feature, but one of the most helpful!
- JSON viewer
- Colored log levels
- View related log messages
- Search by #tags
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 in real time, conveniently providing critical data during active troubleshooting, so you don’t have to wait for log reports to be written to log files.
Structured logging
Go beyond saving a basic log message to separating out key data, in a structured way, for improved searching and log analysis. Without adding additional processing time, structured logs enable you to attach additional properties and index a Retrace log for extended searchability, which greatly improves the value and functionality of your log data.
Log.Debug("Test model object", new {test=”Hello World”, testInt=100, testBool = true}); 
What our customers are saying
With redundant monitoring of Azure and Retrace and the really granular early alerts we’ve set up in Retrace, I feel much more confident about finding critical issues before they turn into fires.
