Sumo Logic has really blown me away with what the product has to offer out of the box. We have like 6 servers and we used to monitor each of them separately by running scripts on each of them for the services they hosted. But since Sumo Logic has come into the picture, We have merged all our log stream on the cloud to Sumo logic and have customized scripts running to filter out any service which fails or times out due to any reason. We have a dashboard setup and it keeps track of all the services which are running on the different servers like the number of hits the service got, the response time, service fails, etc. We have a team dedicated to reading the Sumo Logic’s machine data analytics work. It provides you with great value insights which can be very useful in real-time. JSON field formatting is found to be very useful because many of the services are based on the REST platform these days. The ability to filter the logs based on timestamp, service name or a specific period of time is extremely useful because it saves us a lot of time by not having to go through all the logs from top to bottom. The fact that it is cloud-based makes it the most viable solution available in the market because it means that it can be accessed from anywhere and everywhere at any time. You just need access to the internet.

query lang, easy to integrate, support aws integration with lambda

Sumo Logic is based on the SAAS model. It has made logging quite interactive and easy process. It has gained a lot of reputation in the market and is used by top leading MNC's. I have used Sumo logic to aggregate my logs coming from 5 different farm servers and merging them into a single stream of logs which has considerably reduced by time and effort of monitoring 5 different farm servers. Sumo Logic can support custom-written script in PowerShell and python. It makes the job very easy when you are getting filtered logs rather than raw logs. They can give you precise information about what is going on with which service and at what timestamp did the issue occur. The dashboards are also top-notch and provide you with a lot of information in a single view. You can run custom queries on complex logs and get meaningful results which makes it very useful in real-time issue analysis. It is a fully supported tool and I have real-time access to the support team or engineers who have developed this tool and then can help you with any and every query or issue that you have regarding the tool. The training provided is also at the excellent and you get to know the overall working and some of the advanced features of the tool.
