Your cloud applications shouldn't keep you up at night

FlexLogs makes it easy to monitor applications and catch issues before your boss forwards you that all-caps email from the customer.

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

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