Ingest logs
Why do I need to ingest logs?¶
Logging allows you to monitor logs from any location alongside your existing FusionReactor data. With log data readily available, you can resolve issues more quickly and efficiently, which can improve your overall application performance and reduce downtime.
Benefits¶
Log monitoring provides a number of benefits, including:
-
Improved application performance
-
Early detection of errors and failures
-
Improved troubleshooting and root cause analysis
-
Better understanding of application behavior
-
Improved security
Compatibility¶
To send logs, you can use a logging client such as Promtail, Fluentbit, Logback, Fluentd or some other alternative. However, we recommend using the Observability Agent as the easiest method to send logs to FusionReactor.
Getting started¶
Step 1: Generate an API key.
Step 2: We recommend using the Observability Agent for the simplest and most time effective way to send logs to FusionReactor. Alternatively, you could configure a log shipper.
Visualize your data¶
With FusionReactor Cloud, you can diagnose both live and historic issues with our powerful metrics engine and dashboards.
