Log Streaming Feature Request

Hi, 

Our team recently has certain error scenarios found in multiple production sites. As of today we're monitoring specific exception (via keyword match or Regex expression) via LogicMonitor and trigger alert to be generated. This solution has few drawbacks:

1. Requires us to know ahead what're the specific exception(s) to monitor in each log file (e.g. Tomcat, ActiveMQ)

2. Requires us to download all the logs from each production site that has this issue (some of our customers requires VPN/Secure access and it's very inefficient to download these logs from each site to analyze) 

Our team then run a quick log streaming POC and discovered datadog is one of the vendors that provides a decent log streaming solution (to the cloud) and allow us to search & perform analytics (see https://www.datadoghq.com/log-management/). It'll be great if LogicMonitor can implement something similar to enable us to elasticsearch these logs in the cloud to enable faster troubleshooting analysis.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Horace

    Hi Horace,

    At this time LogicMonitor supports EventSources to alert on your log entries, but sounds like you are looking for something more in depth.  I've sent you a direct message to try and connect and discuss further.
