STEP 1

Send all your telemetry data together

After creating a Logz.io account, the first step is to send telemetry data to Logz.io. Based on your unique use case or environment, decide which method works best from options including:

  • Deploying the Logz.io as an agent shipper or using a forwarder: You can either deploy the Logz.io as a shipper or use some other forwarder of your choice to efficiently route your logs, metrics, and traces to Logz.io.
  • Sending data directly from your cloud provider: leverage our purpose-built integrations to automatically ship your telemetry data.
STEP 2

STEP 3

Create dedicated workspaces for each team (optional)

Once your data is in Logz.io, segregate it into separate Logz.io Sub Accounts and assign user permissions to each account – all from a single location. This ensures every team only accesses the data relevant to them to drive autonomy and compliance.

Easily monitor data volumes across teams to find opportunities for cost reduction. Set caps to prevent bursty data from running up your bill.

STEP 4

Eliminate noisy data and optimize storage to reduce costs (optional)

Logz.io’s Data Optimization Manager makes it easy to remove noisy data that needlessly drives up costs and complicates troubleshooting. Use Logz.io self-service tools or direct support from our engineers to help identify and remove noisy data through the chat bot in the app.

Further reduce costs with Logz.io’s Cold Search, which enables near real-time analytics on log data stored in AWS S3. Cold Search provides basic log search capabilities on cold storage to dramatically reduce logging costs, with the option to ingest the data to hot storage for more advanced analysis.
