A Splunk and ELK alternative for application logs, without running a search cluster

Middle Monitor collects application logs through the same SDK that handles your traces and errors, so they live in one observability platform instead of a search cluster you size, shard and operate yourself.

Splunk and Elastic are powerful general-purpose search and analytics engines that go far beyond application logs, covering security analytics and arbitrary machine data. Middle Monitor is scoped to observability logs, not to that wider remit.

Logs next to the traces and errors from the same service

Logs are emitted through the same SDK that traces requests and captures exceptions, so all three land in one platform under the same service and time range instead of in a separate cluster you query on its own.

No cluster to operate

There is no index lifecycle policy, shard sizing or hot-warm tiering to manage. Retention follows the plan: 7 days on Free, 30 days on Pro, and 90 days or more on Custom.

Errors as first-class objects

Unhandled exceptions are captured as structured errors with stacktraces rather than being grepped out of log text after the fact.

EU hosting

Telemetry is hosted in the EU, with retention governed by your plan and documented in the privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send arbitrary application logs?

Yes, through the SDK's log forwarding, which is part of the same initialization as tracing and error capture.

How long are logs kept?

7 days on the Free plan, 30 days on Pro, and custom retention of 90 days or more on the Custom plan.
