What you can monitor

From a message to a useful answer

Keep sources separate, narrow down a problem and reuse the searches that help your team. Connecting a source never enables collection on its own.

Connect the sources you choose

Connect the agent, HTTPS API or a supported collector. Approve local sources and explicitly enable collection.

Search, compare and follow live

Filter text, time, severity and fields. Explore patterns, save personal or shared views and explicitly show live messages.

Turn matching logs into alerts

Alert on matching or missing messages. Investigate incidents and deliveries in the existing alarm view.

Understand your data

Choose what you send and how long it stays

Sources retain logs for seven days by default; choose one to 30 days. Shortening requires confirmation. Masking applies before storage, but review your data: sensitive values may remain. Logs use a separate daily quota.

Your first steps

Your first steps

Connect your source in three steps.

  1. 01

    Create a source

    Open Logs in your workspace, select an integration and create a dedicated source key. Keep this key private.

  2. 02

    Review and enable collection

    Configure the sender, approve local access if needed and check masking. Enable the source and send a first message.

  3. 03

    Save a useful search

    Find your first indexed message, save the filters and explicitly enable any alert rule you need. Indexing delays remain visible.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Answers and setup guides.

How much log data can I send?
Normal accounts have one GiB of uncompressed log volume per UTC day; machines without verified email have 100 MiB. This is shared across the account’s workspaces. The Logs usage section shows your effective quota.
Do logs need a monitor?
No. Sources and log alerts belong directly to a workspace. Only people with the required workspace access can read them; operator status alone does not grant access.

Your next step

Start with one source

Connect a source you control, verify its first message and build a focused search. The integration guide includes working examples.
