No matter your business, all the hardware and applications you use will generate copious amounts of log data. But identifying and fixing issues identified in these logs can sometimes feel like finding a needle in a haystack. That's where a log aggregation service, such as Splunk, Sentry, or Loggly, can be essential for the efficient running of your technology systems.
Papertrail, for example, is a cloud-hosted service that makes log management easy. The service aggregates all your text log files, system logs, and app logs in a single place. With Papertrail, you can view your logs in real-time using a browser, command line, or API interface. You may search your logs in seconds, plus set up alerts to monitor all your important log events.
The hosted service is quick to set up and easy to implement; you can typically install Papertrail across all your systems in minutes. Your less technically skilled staff may view logs without SSH/RDP knowledge or access.
Papertrail aggregates logs for various systems and services, including:
Papertrail log velocity analytics lets you troubleshoot issues. For example, Papertrail can help identify a spike in log entries over a few minutes or monitor log trends over the last two weeks. With Metricfire, you can turbocharge Papertrail log monitoring services to new levels. By integrating Papertrail with the Metricfire platform, you may enjoy metrics displayed on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. All you need to get started are accounts on Papertrail and Hosted Graphite.
Our integration lets you view metrics on essential systems and application log messages on your Hosted Graphite graphs and dashboards. For example, you may receive an insightful Papertrail alert that watches failed deployments and viewable alongside metric changes in Hosted Graphite. By using Metricfire's Hosted Graphite integration, users can look forward to fuss-free monitoring across all Papertrail alerts.
PagerDuty is an incident management platform used to help teams quickly detect and fix infrastructure problems. It manages automatic notifications when a problem occurs, escalates the issue where necessary, and schedules on-call resources.
With its SaaS platform, PagerDuty provides businesses, developers, and administrators a range of powerful tools to help them quickly manage client-impacting issues. By arming your business with the insight to proactively manage events that may affect customers across your IT infrastructure, PagerDuty helps you to maintain customer experience and satisfaction. It also allows you to sustain your brand reputation and revenue streams.
PagerDuty comes with hundreds of native integration points to ensure that the right data gets in the hands of the right people in real-time. By taking advantage of machine-learning, PagerDuty automatically handles resource scheduling and issue escalations. You can customize PagerDuty notifications to use a combination of phone calls, SMS, push notifications, and emails depending on the issue severity, time of day, or defined support hours.
These features are why PagerDuty can be such a useful companion to your MetricFire applications such as Hosted Graphite. For example, you might use Hosted Graphite to receive alerts about system performance, code bugs, or other issues. If you use PagerDuty as well, you would find it of immense use when you wanted automatic delegating to the people in your organization. One way would be to use PagerDuty to create alerts that it automatically assigns to specific people on your team.
You can create a PagerDuty service on MetricFire's Hosted Graphite that triggers once an alert criterion reaches a specified threshold. Once triggered, the service delegates tasks to specific individuals, leaving you free to focus on other important job functions.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. We enable you to use Hosted Graphite and aesthetic custom dashboards to visualize your metrics so you can understand what is happening.
MetricFire offers users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, but we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
