Full-featured and Affordable Log Management Tools

Sematext Logs is a powerful, cloud-native log management and analysis service that helps you monitor, search, and analyze logs at scale at only a fraction of cost of Datadog. Sematext delivers high performance, intuitive dashboards and visualizations without the operational overhead of managing your own log monitoring infrastructure. Leverage robust full-text search, filtering, sorting, ad-hoc charting, anomaly detection, alerting, etc. to uncover insights across thousands of log events.  

Collect logs with minimal effort from any data source: containers, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, servers, VMs, syslog, and applications. Sematext automatically discovers all available services and log sources wherever Sematext Agent is installed. Configure log ingestion in just a few clicks, without the need for additional installations or manual configurations.

The blazingly fast search with a familiar Lucene/Google-like syntax and rich filtering options is designed to help you troubleshoot production issues quickly by sifting through massive log volumes in seconds.

Sematext Agent automatically parses your log events, detecting fields and data types on the fly. This increases the value you get from logs, creates more insightful charts, allows for easier creation of alert rules, more effective analysis, etc., all without requiring manual configuration. You get cleaner, more usable data out of the box. What if you want to drop some fields or if you want to encrypt or mask some? No problem, it’s all doable with Logs Pipelines via the UI.

Connect the dots between logs, metrics, various system or custom events, and alerts in a single unified platform. Sematext enables log and metric correlation across applications and environments, giving you complete observability and a holistic understanding of system behavior. It’s built for DevOps, SREs, and developers who need fast insights across multiple telemetry signals.

Seamless integration

Sematext makes log collection and management effortless. Whether you’re running on Kubernetes, Docker, vanilla containers, bare metal, VMs, Linux, Windows, or if you are running on AWS, GCP, or Azure, you can centralize your logs in Sematext, no extra work required.

Visual Log Analysis Made Simple

Bring your logs to life with powerful dashboards and visualization features that help you quickly understand what’s happening inside your systems. Whether you’re scanning millions of log lines or drilling into anomalies, Sematext turns complexity into clarity through intuitive visuals and real-time dashboards.

Generate informative charts from your logs with just a few clicks. Sematext lets you generate charts from numerical values instantly, helping you uncover trends, spikes, and anomalies across distributed systems. It’s the easiest way to spot unusual behavior before it becomes a critical issue. See Quick Charts in the docs.

Instantly identify critical information by highlighting key values within your log tables such as error codes, latency spikes, or unusual patterns so you can quickly identify critical events without sifting through irrelevant data. See Highlighting in the docs.

View logs in a more compact format. This minimalist layout removes unnecessary UI clutter, giving developers and engineers a faster way to scan logs and debug in real time. See Terminal View in the docs.

Pre-made charts & dashboards

Get out-of-the-box visualizations specific to each service you integrate. This means you can start monitoring what matters most right away, with default alerts notifying you of critical issues for each service type.

Resolve issues in a snap

Stay ahead of incidents with a proactive alerting and anomaly detection system built for speed and clarity. Whether you're tracking error rates, anomalies, or system health, our log analysis tools help surface what matters before it becomes a bigger issue.

In addition to default alert rules you can define customized alert rules based on specific search criteria, receiving timely notifications about critical events. Set priority levels for alerts based on their severity and potential impact, ensuring efficient response times. Alert notifications are delivered over one or more notification hooks of your choice.

Intelligent algorithms detect outliers, sudden spikes or dips, and unexpected behaviors across your logs. Identify unusual patterns early, and resolve potential issues before they impact system performance or user experience. Anomaly detection works out of the box and requires no manual configuration.

Collaborate effectively

Our platform fosters a culture of collaborative resolution, empowering your team to diagnose and fix issues faster, smarter, and together. Share access, insights, and context instantly to speed up root cause analysis and decision-making.

Enable seamless collaboration across DevOps, SREs, and engineering teams. Invite team members to explore issues together, speeding up investigations and reducing downtime. Turn any account into a Team account free of charge and assign appropriate roles to each team member.

Keep stakeholders informed without requiring them to learn Sematext or granting them full access to your applications or infrastructure . Email real-time snapshots and reports with one click. Ideal for audits, updates, or incident reports. Schedule email reports to be sent at any desired frequency.

Protect data privacy and access with fine-grained RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). Whether you’re running a small team or managing multiple departments, this ensures that the right people have the right access in our centralized log management platform. The built-in Audit Trail provides insights about who did what, where and when, from which IP address and country.

Scale Easily with Flexible, Affordable Pricing Options

Built for performance at any size, Sematext offers log management and analysis tools that scale alongside your infrastructure without scaling your costs.

Handle hundreds of terabytes of logs every day with consistent performance even during sudden increases in volume, and easily scale up as needed.

Archive logs to an S3-compatible object store to balance cost-efficiency and compliance. Keep recent data live for fast queries, while older logs remain accessible for compliance, audits, forensics, or trend analysis for as long as you wish. See Logs Archiving docs.

Create Logs Pipelines to process incoming log events, allowing you to filter, enrich, transform, and structure log data during ingestion. Use Pipelines to eliminate noise and reduce cost by keeping only the data that matters. Or use Pipelines to mask or drop sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, dates of birth, social security numbers or anything such. See Logs Pipelines docs.

Flexible Pricing Built for Modern Teams

Our platform is designed to offer flexible pricing and powerful features that help you achieve both scalability and affordability.

Configure Max Daily Volume in each App independently to automatically reject excess logs, protecting your budget while continuing to monitor logs at scale.

We monitor your daily log volume and, based on your usage history, recommend the optimal plan to save on costs. If you ship less data than your chosen daily volume, we’ll identify cheaper plans with lower daily volumes. Similarly, if you ship more, we will recommend the most optimal plan for you.

We looked into running our own Elastic Stack, and quickly realized that was a job and specialty within itself. We are a small startup and every dollar counts. Wasting precious and expensive sysadmin time on managing things far out of our project scope really isn’t an option
