Introduction

Learn how to send logs, use the dashboard, and run LoggerMan on our cloud or your own infrastructure.

What is LoggerMan?

LoggerMan is a logging workspace for application teams. You create a project, get an API token, and send structured logs from your apps. Logs show up in a real-time dashboard where you can search, filter, triage with your team, set up alerts, and review analytics.

Use the official SDK or plain HTTP — no Elasticsearch cluster required to get started.

Cloud vs self-hosted

LoggerMan Cloud (https://loggerman.dev) is the managed service. Sign up, create a project, and point your app at https://loggerman.dev with your project token. Billing, retention, and upgrades are handled in the dashboard.

Self-hosted runs LoggerMan on your own servers. You control data residency, networking, and upgrades — same dashboard and API, your infrastructure. See the Self-host setup guide for install steps.

Which should I use?

Start on Cloud for the fastest path to production. Choose self-hosted when you need logs to stay inside your VPC or air-gapped environment. Integration code is the same — only baseUrl and credentials change.

Core concepts

  • Account — Your LoggerMan login. Open the dashboard after signing in.
  • Project — One app or service boundary. Each project has its own ID, API token, logs, and members.
  • Log entry — A message with type (INFO, WARNING, ERROR), criticality, optional metadata, and a source label.
  • API token — Secret used by your apps to ingest (and optionally read) logs. Rotate from project settings if it leaks.

Typical workflow

  1. Create a project and copy credentials from Integration settings.
  2. Install @marvink02/loggerman-sdk or call the REST API.
  3. Send a test log, then open Logs in the dashboard.
  4. Invite teammates, tune alerts, and use analytics when you need trends — not just live tailing.
