Loggable

The hosted service has been discontinued. You can run your own installation of Loggable here. If you have any questions, feel free to open a ticket here.

What is Loggable?

Loggable is a comprehensive, centralized solution for administrative event logging and alerting; providing both a back and front-end. Easily store, view, filter and manage your admin events across all of your channels in a single place; whether you need to add logging capabilities to a single application or you're looking to save time and resources by centralizing your admin log management.

Loggable also provides rule-based alerts so you can be notified when events are logged that meet the exact criteria that you specify. This allows you to decide who gets notified, for which events, and how. Notification options include email, Slack, webhooks, and more to come.

What does this module do?

This module allows you to automatically send watchdog events of your choice to Loggable. Once installed, you can configure filters to choose which events get sent based on a combination of severity level and event type. This allows you to store only the messages that are worth bringing to your attention.

To optimize performance, events destined for Loggable are statically cached during the page request and are sent asynchronously via a shutdown function. This allows your page request to be completed to the client before any logs are sent.

Some benefits of using Loggable as your watchdog backend

• Increased performance since you are no longer writing to your own database.
• You can store watchdog messages for all of your sites and environments in your Loggable account so you can monitor everything in one location.
• Loggable provides configurable alerts so you can be instantly notified when events matching your criteria are logged, such as critical errors.
• A mobile-optimized interface allows you to monitor your sites on the go.
• Loggable can be used to store admin events for anything, not just your Drupal site, using our simple REST API.
