Cloudlytics vs Logsniffer

CloudFront analytics allows tracking what content is accessed and organize requests based on origin, amount, data transfered, OS/device/browser used, time, etc.

Cloudlytics can be used to analyze CloutTrail's API calls to understand the geographical origin of requests and identifying unauthorized access attempts.

Provides tools for analyzing bills.

Can schedule turning EC2 instances on and off to optimize resource cost.

Allows setting expenditure threshold values that will trigger an alert if a bill of a service has consumed 80%, 100% or more of set threshold.

Cloudlytics provides insight into requests made to load balancer, including average response time, request path, server responses and client IP addresses.

Usage of development and test environments can be optimized via scheduler. EC2 instances can be turned off when not needed.

The free trial lasts a month and allows uploading 200 MB of logs.

Cloudlytics can gather logs from Amazon's S3, CloudFront, CloudTrail and ELB services and provide insight into access patterns, API calls, requests made to load balancer as well as identify unauthorized access attempts, spam attacks, and help manage expenditure.

Cloud audit can be turned on via CloudTrail. It allows identifying unauthorized access attempts, IP addresses and request statuses.

Spam Reports can be used to identify possible spam requests and the IP address making them.

Custom reports can be used to get insights for specific needs. For example, it's possible to add filters for parameters like edge locations, status, URL query etc. on various available fields like total requests, edge result type.

Scans logs in real-time using powerful search routines and publishes identified events to several channels. Storing events in an Elasticsearch index enables extensive analysis.

Everything can be managed by the great UI: Configuring logs, start/stop alerts etc.

There is no need to adjust time filter ranges etc. to scroll up or down in the sequence of log messages.

All-in-one bundled web application, 30MB with a low memory footprint. Only Java is required.

Logs are accessed and tailed directly from files in real-time.
