Welcome to the Loggly Wiki

Loggly is a cloud-based log management service. Our goal is to provide you a quick and easy way to aggregate, retain, and search your log files and application events in near-realtime.

This wiki is community editable, and contributions are welcome. The wiki serves as Loggly's documentation and API reference, as well as a source of examples for integrating Loggly search into your own applications. A list of our common logging phrases is available via the Jargon page.

The beaver's name is Hoover Loggly. He's crazy as a hatter.
