Announcing the general availability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging
We’re pleased to announce the general availability of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Logging service.
Logging is a cloud native, fully managed, distributed logging platform that simplifies ingesting, managing, and analyzing logs from your entire stack. The service brings all your logs into one view: infrastructure, application, audit, and database. It lets you seamlessly ingest and manage the logs generated by your resources and applications. You can use the powerful log search engine to explore logs. You can also make every log line actionable in near-real time to act on, export, or archive your logs for indefinite retention with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Service Connector Hub support.
Single pane of glass for all logs
The general availability release of Logging provides the following features:
-
All your logs in one unified view: infrastructure, audit, application, database
-
One-click experience to turn on logging for OCI resources. Support for the following services: Network flow logs, Load Balancing, Object Storage, Functions, API Gateway, and Events. More services coming soon.
-
Ingest logs from applications running in OCI, on-premises, or other clouds
-
Search, analyze, and correlate your logs with our powerful new search language
-
Emit log-based metrics into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring (through Service Connector Hub)
-
Archive logs for indefinite retention, or seamlessly export to third-party destinations (through Service Connector Hub)
-
Secure access to logs with Log Groups and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions
Open source by design
Instead of building proprietary log agents and data formats, the Logging service is proud to announce that it’s adopting the following Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open standards:
-
Fluentd: Logging uses fluentd to provide a seamless way to deploy, configure, and manage agents across your entire fleet. You can apply hundreds of open source community plugins to ingest, parse, and enrich your logs.
-
Cloudevents v1.0: Every event ingested into Logging is automatically normalized into the cloudevents 1.0 format. This service provides customers with a common way to describe, understand, consume events from OCI resources and applications and easily interoperate with the rest of the cloud native ecosystem and tools.
Simplified pricing
Unlike other providers, which charge you twice for ingestion and storage, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging offers all of these features for one simple and competitive price: $0.05 per GB per stored per month. To let you try out the service at no charge, Logging also provides a generous 10 GB per month free tier.
