Logsene Integration Guide

Logsene by Sematext is an enterprise­-class log management solution. Logsene can receive logs from a wide array of logs shippers, such as Fluentd, Logstash, and Syslog; and supports many logging frameworks for programming languages such as: Java, Scala, Go, Node.js, Ruby, Python, and more. Among other capabilities, Logsene exposes the Elasticsearch API, works with Kibana, and has built-­in alerts and anomaly detection. It is available both in the Cloud (SaaS) and On Premises. It also integrates with SPM Performance Monitoring​to correlate metrics, events, and logs (check out Integrate PagerDuty with SPM Performance Monitoring for those instructions, which are very similar to what you will see here).
