Monium Logs overview

Monium Logs is a distributed and highly available system for storing, searching, visualizing, and analyzing logs.

Logs are helpful when you need to get insights into your application and infrastructure performance: detect errors and exceptions, investigate incidents, track changes, and find out the causes of degradation.

Monium Logs is part of Monium and shares its basic components such as the project model, access management, data model, and interface.

With a single platform, you can access both logs and traces at the same time: use trace_id and span_id to quickly switch between a request’s log entry and its traces.

Monium only accepts OpenTelemetry data. To send logs, use the OpenTelemetry SDK in the application or any OTel-compatible agent, such as Otel Collector or Fluent Bit.

Monium Logs benefits:

• Fast log search that allows you to diagnose errors in real time (ad-hoc scenarios).
• Fault tolerance: data is replicated across data centers.
• Self-diagnosis: the system automatically collects metrics about incoming logs: data amount, delivery delays, number of errors, etc. For diagnostics, there is a service dashboard with pre-installed charts for various metrics.
