Log management

15 services

Log management services receive application and server logs, index them and let you search, chart and alert on them. Axiom, Logtail and Logflare are dedicated log stores; Grafana Cloud, New Relic and OpenObserve bundle logs with metrics and traces. Mobile teams use Bugfender and log.dog to collect device logs remotely, and logzab.com records user activity as an audit trail.

Two numbers decide whether a plan works: ingest volume and retention. Axiom keeps 30 days of logs on a 0.5 TB allowance, OpenObserve 200 GB a month with 15 days, Grafana Cloud 50 GB, and Logtail 1 GB a month with 3 days. Bugfender accepts 100,000 log lines a day but keeps them for only 24 hours.

Short retention is fine for live debugging and weak for incident reviews or audits, so decide how far back you need to search. Verbose debug logging can use up a monthly quota in days; filtering or sampling at the source keeps usage predictable. ManageEngine Log360 Cloud stores 50 GB but keeps only 7 days searchable, so read the plan details before relying on a limit.
