General information about the Log Platform service
Now the service is available only in pools ru-2, ru-7 and ru-8.
The Log Platform is a service for collecting, storing and analyzing logs of Selectel's log-enabled products — load balancers.
Logs can be used to identify application and infrastructure bottlenecks and to quickly identify errors.
You can view and work with logs in the dashboard using API requests or through the AWS CLI.
Logs in the service are stored for 14 days.
Principle of operation
Events that happen to a resource create an entry in the log file.Events in the log file can be combined by some logical characteristic into event streams, and event streams can be combined into groups.
An event is a record of some application activity.An event is a single record and consists of two parameters:
timestamp— The time of the event;message— event name.
A 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.
A log group is a set of event streams organized by storage parameters.The name is an immutable parameter of a log group.All log groups created by Selectel products start with the prefix s/ and contain the product abbreviation.For example, in the entry s/lbaas/my-loadbalancer the prefix is s/ and the product abbreviation is lbaas.
Cost
Now the service is free of charge. In the future the service will become paid — we will warn you about the change of conditions in advance.
