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. For those running workloads on Kubernetes, this is a fully automated process described in the steps below. Otherwise, see here for individual Logz.io integrations.

  • Deploy the agent: Go into the Logz.io app and deploy Telemetry Collector by running an auto-generated script on your cluster.
  • Select the relevant services: Click on Easy Connect, which automatically discovers every service running on your cluster, while providing the option to collect logs, metrics, and or traces from each one.
  • Instrument with a click: Automatically instrument your applications to expose trace data. There’s no need to manually change your code—just click a button.
STEP 2

Parse your log and security event data

There are three ways to parse your log data and security event data with Logz.io:

  • Automatic parsing: Click here to see whether your log data or security event data can be automatically parsed by Logz.io.
  • Parsing-as-a-service: Our Support Team will parse your logs for you at any time of day. Simply reach out through the bottom right chatbot within the app to get your logs parsed.
  • DIY parsing: Click here to learn how to get started with Logz.io’s self-service parsing tool.

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.

 
STEP 5

Complete observability with Service Overview and Kubernetes 360

With Logz.io, you don’t have to set up dashboards; we do it for you. Using our Service Overview and Kubernetes 360 features, you get an out-of-the-box overview of your application and infrastructure health and performance.

  • Service Overview provides immediate insights into the current state of microservices performance – an ideal place to begin an incident investigation.
  • For infrastructure observability, Kubernetes 360 unifies the most critical telemetry data from Kubernetes-based infrastructure in a single view – making it easy to spot production issues across your clusters.
  • Build custom monitoring dashboards to identify trends within logs and metrics and to slice and dice your data.
