Log management built into your observability stack
Aggregate, search, and retain every log line in one place — then jump straight from a log to the error or trace behind it.
Stop paying for a separate logging tool
Most teams scatter logs across a logging vendor, errors across another tool, and traces somewhere else — three bills, three query languages, and no clear path from a log line to the incident it belongs to. When something breaks at 2 a.m., you are tab-switching and copying request IDs by hand instead of fixing the problem.
AllStak puts log management inside the same platform as error tracking, infrastructure monitoring, and distributed tracing. Ship structured logs over an OpenTelemetry-friendly wire format, search and filter across services in real time, set retention that fits your budget, and click from any log straight to the correlated error or trace. One platform, one bill, SAR pricing, and a free tier to start.
Everything you need to manage logs
From ingestion to search to retention, log management in AllStak is designed to be fast, structured, and connected to the rest of your telemetry.
Centralized aggregation
Collect logs from every service, host, and environment into one place. Drop-in SDKs and an OpenTelemetry-friendly wire format mean you can start shipping logs without rebuilding your pipeline.
Fast search and filter
Search across services and filter by level, service, environment, time range, and your own attributes. Narrow millions of lines to the handful that matter in seconds.
Structured logs
Send logs as structured key/value data, not just plain text. Query on any field, keep request IDs and user context attached, and avoid brittle string parsing.
Errors and trace correlation
Every log carries its trace and request context, so you can jump from a log line to the exact error or distributed trace it belongs to — no copy-pasting IDs between tools.
Flexible retention
Choose how long logs are kept so you balance debugging depth against cost. Keep recent data hot for fast search and set retention windows that fit your budget.
Alerts on log patterns
Turn a recurring error log or a spike in a given level into an alert. Smart alerting and incidents are part of the same platform, so log signals flow straight into your on-call workflow.
Start logging in three steps
- 1Install the SDK
Add the AllStak drop-in SDK for your language or framework and set your project API key. If you already emit OpenTelemetry logs, point them at AllStak instead.
- 2Ship structured logs
Log with levels and attach context — service, environment, request ID, user. Logs stream into AllStak in real time and arrive already linked to your errors and traces.
- 3Search, alert, and resolve
Search and filter logs on the live dashboard, pivot from a log to its error or trace, and set alerts on the patterns that signal trouble before users notice.
Why teams manage logs in AllStak
- One platform and one bill for logs, errors, traces, and infrastructure — no separate logging contract to manage.
- Logs arrive pre-correlated with errors and distributed traces, so root cause is a click away, not a manual hunt.
- Structured logs and field-level search replace fragile grep-style parsing and slow full-text scans.
- Retention you control keeps log costs predictable instead of ballooning with volume.
- Predictable SAR pricing and a free tier let you start small and scale without budget surprises.
- Built for GCC and Saudi teams with predictable SAR pricing.
Log management FAQ
What is log management?
Log management is the practice of collecting, centralizing, searching, and retaining the log lines your applications and servers produce. AllStak handles all of it in one platform and correlates each log with the related error and trace, so you can move from a symptom to the cause quickly.
How are logs correlated with errors and traces?
Logs carry trace and request context as they are ingested, so AllStak links them automatically to the error groups and distributed traces they belong to. From any log line you can open the related error or follow the full trace across services without copying IDs between tools.
Does AllStak support structured logs and OpenTelemetry?
Yes. You can send structured key/value logs and query on any field instead of parsing plain text. AllStak uses an OpenTelemetry-friendly wire format, so if your services already emit OpenTelemetry logs you can route them to AllStak with minimal changes.
How does log retention affect cost?
Cost scales with how much log data you keep and for how long. AllStak lets you set retention windows so you keep recent logs hot for fast search and control how long older data is stored, keeping spend predictable as volume grows.
Is AllStak a good logging alternative to Sentry?
AllStak is an all-in-one observability platform, so beyond error tracking it adds log management, infrastructure monitoring, uptime, tracing, and more under one bill. Teams that want centralized logs alongside their errors — instead of stitching together separate tools — use AllStak as a simpler, unified alternative.
Is there a free tier for log management?
Yes. AllStak offers a free tier so you can start aggregating and searching logs at no cost, with predictable SAR pricing as you grow. Create a project, install an SDK, and you can be searching live logs the same day.
Centralize your logs for free
Start free with AllStak and bring log management, error tracking, and tracing together on one platform. Install an SDK, ship structured logs, and search them live — no separate logging bill.
