Principle of operation

Events that happen to the resource create an entry in the log file. Events in the log file can be combined logically into event streams. Event streams can be combined into groups.

An event is a record of application activity, such as an error. An event is a single record and consists of two parameters:

timestamp - The time of the event;
message - event name.

An event stream is a sequence of events united by a single source. The identifier of an event stream is its name. The name is an unchangeable parameter.

Log group - a set of event streams united by storage parameters. The name is a fixed parameter of the log group. All log groups created by Selectel products start with the prefix s/ and contain the abbreviation of the product. For example, in the entry s/lbaas/my-loadbalancer, the prefix is s/ and the product abbreviation is lbaas.

Cost

At the moment the Logi service is free of charge. In the future the service will become paid - we will warn you about the change of conditions in advance.
