FAQ's
IBM Cloud Logs is a centralized logging service that enables collection, storage, search, and analysis of log data from IBM Cloud resources and applications. It provides critical visibility into system health, security events, and application behavior across hybrid cloud environments.
With real-time log aggregation and filtering capabilities, teams can quickly isolate performance issues, investigate errors, and correlate logs across services. This accelerates root cause analysis and reduces MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution).
IBM Cloud Logs supports ingestion of application logs, system logs, access logs, container logs (Kubernetes), and custom log sources via Fluentd, Syslog, or REST API—ensuring full stack observability.
Yes. It integrates with tools like IBM Cloud Monitoring, Instana, QRadar, and SIEM platforms. Log data can also be exported or streamed to other analytics tools for deeper analysis and compliance tracking.
It enables organizations to track login attempts, API calls, unauthorized access, and anomalies. Long-term log retention and role-based access controls support regulatory compliance and internal audit requirements.
Absolutely. The service is built on a scalable architecture that supports large volumes of log data with high availability and redundancy. It is suitable for dynamic workloads in cloud-native and hybrid environments.
Logs are indexed with metadata and searchable using advanced query syntax, including full-text search, regex, time filters, and field-based conditions, making analysis precise and efficient.
