History

In 2009, Jon Gifford, Raffael Marty, and Kord Campbell founded Loggly.[4] App47, a mobile application management provider, partnered with Loggly in September 2012.[2] The company chose Loggly because of its software-as-a-service (SaaS) deployment option.[2] In September 2013, Loggly released "Generation 2", an updated version of its service.[1] The update included log collection through standard syslog protocols and a graphical web interface that allowed users to use a point-and-click process to find log events and generate charts.[6] That month, Loggly completed a $10.5 million funding round led by Cisco and Data Collective.[1] [7] Trinity Ventures, True Ventures and Matrix Partners also participated in the round.[1]

In October 2014, the company announced a $15 million series C funding round led by Harmony Partners.[4] [8] [9] [10] [11] Matrix Partners, Trinity Ventures, Cisco, Data Collective, and True Ventures also participated.[4] [8] [10] The funding round raised Loggly's total investment funding to $33.4 million.[9] The company released Loggly Dynamic Field Explorer, a new user experience that aims to reduce the time developers spend on identifying and troubleshooting problems, that month.[4] [11]

On January 8, 2018, the company announced that they are now part of SolarWinds.[12]

Operations

Loggly is headquartered in San Francisco, California.[2] The company had 54 employees and 10,000 customers in October 2017.[6] [13] Loggly records log data from any device and reports it in a real-time management platform with trend data.[1]

Technology

Loggly is a cloud-based log management service provider.[1] It does not require the use of proprietary software agents to collect log data.[7] The service uses open source technologies, including Elasticsearch, Apache Lucene 4 and Apache Kafka.[14]
