We’re happy to announce a new integration with Google Stackdriver, allowing users to easily ship data from Google Cloud Platform into Logz.io via Google Pub/Sub! Early adopters of Google Cloud may recall that they were pretty much in the dark as far as logging their projects was concerned. Sure, they could access their virtual machines and manually grep log files but that was pretty much it. With this new integration, we can import logs from Stackdriver into Logz.io.

If there is one thing that all Software as a Service (SaaS) companies understand, it is the pressure of “being fired”, as SPS Commerce’s Andy Domeier puts it. SPS Commerce is a cloud-based supply chain management software company and Andy is a Senior Director of Technology there - so he knows what he is talking about.

At Logz.io we’re always keeping tabs on the latest and greatest in the DevOps world, for the benefit of both our own engineering team and for the teams that use our products. As the days get shorter and colder, we decided to look back on 2019 and share the top trends we’ve seen in 2019 so far. The acronym “CALMS” (Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement, Sharing) is a helpful way to structure thinking about DevOps tools and techniques.

Screens display a series of widgets that you can use to share across your organization. Widgets can display your log activity, from the number of logs ingested in the last 4 hours, to a line graph comparing today’s logs to yesterday’s logs. You can control the data you want to display by creating a “Screen” with a combination of different widgets. Post your screen on a company monitor to provide your organization with a snapshot of your system’s activity.
