Having tried self-hosted and cloud logging solutions, Papertrail is one of the services that we subscribe to that I feel pangs of gratitude when we receive our monthly billing notification. Some of the things I liked about Papertrail: - Super easy to setup (& automate setup). Just a dozen lines of setup in rsyslog.conf - Also ships with a tiny client written in go if you want to tail specific files - Sensible pricing. Charges per GB, which for us at least, correlated with how much business we were doing. Now we'd gladly pay more for the same service - Great dashboard/UI. Having started with loggly, we were used to slow, unresponsive, unintuitive dashboard. As loggly grew, the dashboard increased in complexity. Papertrail by contrast is fast, simple and made sense (at least to us). It's quite surprising how simple it is and yet performs it's job very well. Although we don't use the live log tailing so much, the log grouping & notification system is very intuitive and easy to setup. - Easy S3 archival. Took about 10 minutes to setup Thank you Papertrail
