You may already be familiar with the type of issues that arise when a system creates too many metrics that go unmonitored but don’t know where to get started when it comes to launching a full-service metrics management system.
The Logit.io platform offers a fully hosted solution for monitoring and managing metrics from servers, apps, network devices and any additional custom metrics that you wish to track. By harnessing the best open-source solutions for metrics management (namely Grafana® and Prometheus) we add the necessary components to make these tools scalable and fully compliant for enterprise security use cases.
If you don’t wish to sign up for a free 14-day free trial of the platform with no credit card required and wish to speak to a specialist instead then feel free to book a slot in our calendar below.
Want to request a demo or need to speak to a specialist before you get started? No problem, simply select a time that suits you in our calendar and a member of our technical team will be happy to take you through the platform and discuss your requirements in detail.
By actively managing the metrics, logs and traces that your organisation creates you can ensure that all of your key software, servers and operating systems are performing as expected.
Centralising these three types of data (metrics, logs and traces) allows your organisation to uphold the three pillars of observability and unlocks your engineers with the ability to build more efficient and observable systems.
Metrics management is especially important for improving the observability of dynamic cloud environments (such as Kubernetes). Logit.io also understands that many metrics management platforms are not equipped with tools such as Prometheus and as a result do not offer out of the box support for managing time-series metrics.
Logit.io’s managed metrics service allows you to remotely store time-series metrics for long term storage and governance in line with leading global compliance standards.
Logit.io’s metrics management solution provides many advantages over using out of the box open source tools as our platform is home to both hosted Grafana and Prometheus. Our offering of Grafana and Prometheus has made these tools fully scalable for highly durable reporting and reliable data centralisation to provide a global view of your operations suitable for any enterprise use case.
A little known use case of metrics monitoring is how much your organisation can save in the event where too much RAM has been allocated to a Kubernetes cluster unknowingly. By monitoring the relevant time-series metric and setting an alert to see if that container only uses 10% of that RAM (for example) you can see how much of the unused memory should be allocated to another service.
If you are feeling pressured to perform monitoring, alerting and overall data management on a budget then it may be worth knowing that many users find that monitoring metrics tends to be more affordable than monitoring logs.
"Internally, Logit.io has made it easier for us to provide better support for our customers, since finding individual messages based on various data in the payload has become easier.
At Youredi, pretty much everyone from our technical support teams through to our professional services teams uses Logit.io."
Mats von Weissenberg, CTO @ Youredi
"One thing is certain when operating in the startup space, a strict budget. Before we make any purchase decision to use a SaaS Log Management platform, we need to validate the benefits of the platform and more importantly the team behind the platform.
Logit.io's customer support team stood out. Right from the beginning, the Logit.io team was there to answer questions and walk us through the process."
Ioannis Sintos, Co-Founder & CIO - Uizard
Logit.io offers our company an excellent solution of ingesting our logs, we recently had to do quite a few updates on the platform since the previous service owner in our company left and didn't want to do them, Logit.io was of great assistance throughout the whole process.

Whilst Logit.io offers both Grafana and Kibana to choose from for creating metrics dashboards, we’ve noticed that a lot of users lean towards using Grafana primarily for this task.
Grafana is a favourite tool for metrics analysis due to its proficiency in visualisation, monitoring and alert creation. It can be used as a standalone piece of analytics software or used in tandem with services such as Loki and InfluxDB.
Grafana allows you to use a variety of charts, graphs, and tables in order to make it easier to share the key takeaways of metrics reporting for cross-team collaboration among your engineers.
Whilst Grafana is a preferred solution for metrics visualisation it is still worth considering if Kibana would be useful for monitoring your services. Kibana can also easily display metrics visualisations in a wealth of different formats such as charts, tables, maps and graphs which can be combined into detailed dashboards that dynamically update.
Keep on top of the demands of ISO 27001, PCI, GDPR & SOC2 compliance by consolidating all of your metrics in a single centralised platform with Logit.io.
For internal security we provide Role Based Access Controls (RBAC), teams & roles, as well as authentication providers for additional security including Single Sign-On (SSO) using AD and SAML Google Workspace, Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, PingFederate 7, Salesforce, SiteMinder, SSOCircle, One Login Enforced sign-in via SAML only, Custom Identity Providers IdP and more.
See All Security & Compliance MeasuresPrometheus is a metrics-based monitoring and alerting stack that is purpose-built for handling metrics from tools like Kubernetes as well as web apps and API servers. Prometheus is also able to perform addition, multiply and average metrics over time against any time-series data ingested.
Unfortunately, as Prometheus is not built with scalability in mind, users can encounter issues with calculating global CPU usage across multiple Prometheus servers. This makes tasks such as capacity planning or gaining a global view of activity much more tedious to conduct.
Logit.io’s hosted Prometheus solution provides a complete in place alternative for locally hosted Prometheus, Thanos and any preexisting federation.
When your team uses Logit.io there is no need for locally hosted Grafana or Prometheus infrastructure to be maintained. This means that you can eliminate the significant management overheads associated with large local Prometheus instances.

Observability is enhanced by combining OpenTelemetry (OTel) with Logit.io. OTel provides a data structure that enables automated analysis and reduces engineering time by standardising all data types.
The Logit.io for OpenTelemetry distribution offers unified analysis and complete data centralisation across all types of data including telemetry data.
By selecting an analysis service that is already compliant and secure with OpenTelemetry, you will future-proof your operations.
