Loggly vs Papertrail

Unlike Airbrake, you don't have to add try/catch blocks to automatically capture JavaScript errors.

Unlike Airbrake or LogEntries, you can download the library from GitHub and concatenate/minify it along with your other JS, or you can use it directly from Loggly's CDN.

Raw text, syslogs, and JSON can be fed to Loggly.

You only have to set up a HTTP JSON input and there are community examples to guide you.

To set Papertrail up, use NXLog, or simply direct logs to a URL provided by Papertrail. No proprietary agent.

The default view is mostly taken up by log events with a small row at the bottom for entering a search query, setting date range, accessing saved searches and enabling or disabling real-time logging.

By default log events and searches in Papertrail are updated in real-time.

Logs can be colorized by installing Stylish, a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that overrides CSS stylesheets, and writing a custom stylesheet.

Papertrail's log entries have various attributes that can be used to change css properties for specific programs or systems, or based on message contents.

Logs can also be colorized within the actual logs by adding ANSI escape codes (will override user-specific colorization).
