Green means go(od): Spot inactive log senders at a glance

Posted by By telliott on July 14, 2017

Ever wanted to quickly see which systems haven’t sent logs recently? Now it’s as easy as checking a traffic light. Visit the Dashboard and click a group name, then scan the list of systems:

Systems with activity status

  • Green-light systems are currently sending logs
  • Yellow-light systems aren’t currently sending logs, but have sent logs in the last 24 hours
  • Red-light systems haven’t sent logs in the last 24 hours

Text on the right shows when Papertrail last saw logs.

It’s an easy way to make sure critical systems are still logging after a deployment or upgrade.

Try it out, and if you see anything unusual, or just want to opine on the intervals or colors, tell us.
