Log Monitoring

With Log Monitoring as a part of the Dynatrace platform, you gain direct access to the log content of all your mission-critical processes. You can create custom log metrics for smarter and faster troubleshooting. You will be able to understand log data in the context of your full stack, including real user impacts.

Dynatrace Log Monitoring also allows you to automate your cloud-related log tasks:

  • Automatically see precise problem root cause in real time to simplify cloud complexity.
  • Automate cloud operations and trigger remediation workflow to enhance the efficiency.
  • Automatic ingestion of logs, metrics, and traces, and continuous dependency mapping with precise context across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Acquisition

Dynatrace automatically collects log and event data from a vast array of technologies.

Analysis

Analyze significant log events across multiple logs, across parts of the environment (production), and potentially over a longer timeframe.

Alerting

Define patterns, events, and custom log metrics to receive proactive notifications.

API

Use the Dynatrace API to send log data to Dynatrace and quickly search, aggregate, or export the log content.
