In the Scalyr platform, releases over the past month include batch log export to Amazon S3 and alerting and UI improvements.
Batch Log Export to Amazon S3
We will make batch log export available on June 11, allowing you to filter logs and export them to Amazon S3. This lets you archive log data for compliance purposes, store them for future use, or include them in your CRM or ticketing system. Moreover, the exports run in the background in Scalyr. Users receive email notifications when they are completed. You can read more at Batch Export to Amazon S3.
Alerting Improvements
As part of our effort to improve alerting, we’re making email notifications easier to use. We have grouped alerts into “new,” “ongoing,” and “resolved” sections, making new issues stand out more clearly. Additionally, each alert now provides direct, deep links to the exact spot in Scalyr search or graphs for the alert time range (or the current time).
User Interface Improvements
We have upgraded the UI, including adding expandable dashboard legends so you can make better sense of what you’re seeing.
Going Forward
We are developing Scalyr for the engineering front line with a focus on our three value pillars: fast, simple, and shareable.
We will continue to revamp common workflows to refine the user experience. Right now, we are focusing on alerts. Soon, we will add improved alert management, including bulk actions and better silencing options, plus a more useful alert landing page.
