Papertrail vs coralogix

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).

Coralogix maps software flows and automatically detects production problems

Activity / Inactivity alerts to email or slack rooms

Real time live tail from all servers + filtering options

On top its own log query, alerts, and live tail, Coralogix provides a fully hosted Kibana for dashboard creation and elasticsearch querying.

Coralogix integrates with Heroku pipelines and creates an automatic quality status for each build done on Heroku.

Coralogix’s automatically clusters Heroku log data back into its original patterns and modules the log variables so that it is possible to view hours of data in a few minutes and drill into specific patterns or variables.
