Rails logging with Scout Log Management

Scout’s Log Management feature is currently in beta and natively available for Ruby applications. A log management tool with a genuinely easy setup and built for file-based Rails logging. You’re only a few minutes away from connecting your logs and application performance for better monitoring.

  • Easily group all logs resulting from a given endpoint (e.g. Controller) no matter what file they occur in
  • Correlate APM trace IDs across log lines
  • Take APM and log data into a delicious sundae of application information

Log Management FAQs:

  1. What languages does Scout Log Management support?
    For now, our log management is in beta for Ruby apps and accepting waitlist users for Python apps here.
  2. What is the log management beta pricing?
    $40 for 30Gb of logs data for the first month, then get the second month of logging data free. It’s our version of a BOGO!
  3. What happens if I exceed 30Gb of data in a single billing cycle?
    Log data above the included 30Gb is billed in arrears as “on-demand” usage at $0.46/GB.
  4. We send a lot of logs. Can I limit or filter what we send?
    Yes, Scout makes it very easy to just send logs of a certain severity or higher. For example, you could send us WARNING and above.
  5. Can I just use Scout Monitoring for log management without enabling the APM agent?
    Currently Scout Log Management is an add-on feature to our application monitoring tool. You will need to signup for Scout App Monitoring and enable the log management feature with the Scout app.
