Servers take a lot of requests daily, we know that…We also know that the server responds instantly. But who makes the request? What do they want, and what exactly are they looking for? Where do these visitors come from? How often they are making a request: once a month, once a day, almost every minute? Well, answers to these, and potentially a lot more questions, can be found in a single place - the server log file.
We’re excited to announce that LogDNA’s built-in log parser offers custom parsing, now available in beta.

I don’t know what to say about this post… I found something weird while investigating PPS on EC2. It seems to correlate with CPU credits on t1/t2/t3 instances, but is consistently inconsistent in presentation. It only shows up when you track the stats yourself, because Cloudwatch doesn’t show the 1-second granularity needed to see these numbers.
Raygun’s Launch Notes are your regular roundup of all the improvements we made to Raygun in the last month — from major feature releases to performance updates.
