How to use Papertrail for logging

Centralized logging helps you finding the right information and keep logs between deployments.

Overview

Papertrail is a log management tool which centralizes all your logs, makes them searchable and lets you define criteria for being notified by other services. A service like Papertrail is a great addition to your Beach project:

  • it stores your log files at a place outside of your container. That's important because all files - including log files - which are stored in your instance containers will be gone after the next deployment.
  • it aggregates logs from multiple containers and sources. If you are scaling your instances to multiple replicas, you'll want a single place to look at when searching for the cause of a problem.
  • it makes your logs searchable. Wondering what happened to your Neos website last night at 1am? Or when a particular error happened the last time?
