4 superpowers with 1 tiny integration

Build applications faster with the easiest metrics, watchdogs, healthchecks, and messaging you've ever integrated.

No agents or libraries to install or setup (or maintain).

Get started now

FlexLogs uses the logging system your application already has in place, easy peasy.

The Old Way

A lot of setup & maintenance

  • Install agents on servers, hosts, containers

  • Add libraries into applications to communicate with agents

  • Configure agents and libraries with credentials, config, etc

  • Use those new libraries and agents to send data

  • Keep agents and libraries updated (and hope they don't break)

FlexLogs Way

Easy setup, no maintenance

  • Point application logs at FlexLogs

  • Add some tags into logs where you need them

  • That's it, all set up.

Using FlexLogs

Easy to install and even easier to use
