The Problem We're Solving

Your log analysis dashboard can search through millions of log entries and create beautiful visualizations. But every morning, your development teams rebuild the same complex queries - filtering for database errors from the last 6 hours, excluding debug logs, and grouping by service. Meanwhile, critical issues go unnoticed until someone manually checks the dashboard.

Today we're building the missing intelligence layer that remembers what users care about and watches for problems automatically. Think of it as giving your log system a memory and making it proactive rather than reactive.

What We're Building:

  • Smart search persistence that remembers complete query context

  • Real-time alert engine that monitors log patterns continuously

  • Multi-channel notification system for immediate issue awareness

  • Intuitive management interface for organizing searches and alerts
