Logz

Logz, often written as logz, is a cloud-based observability platform focused on log management, metrics collection, and distributed tracing. It is designed to help development and operations teams collect logs from applications, containers, and cloud services, then search, visualize, and analyze the data in real time. The service aims to streamline incident response, performance optimization, and overall reliability of software systems.

The platform supports multiple ingestion methods, including agents, SDKs, syslog, and cloud-native integrations, to gather data from diverse environments. Logs are parsed and enriched with metadata, indexed for fast search, and surfaced through a web-based user interface that provides dashboards, visualizations, and query capabilities. In addition to logs, Logz offers metrics and tracing features to enable end-to-end visibility across complex architectures. Alerting, anomaly detection, and incident workflows help teams identify issues quickly and coordinate responses. The service emphasizes integrations with major cloud providers, container platforms, and CI/CD pipelines, and aims to work with open-source observability tools.

Use cases for logz include rapid incident investigation, root-cause analysis, capacity planning, compliance monitoring, and security event detection. It competes in the cloud-based observability market with other log management and monitoring platforms and is used by organizations ranging from small teams to large enterprises. While the core offering centers on centralized logging and dashboards, it is part of a broader ecosystem that includes alerts, traces, and metrics to support modern DevOps and SRE practices.
