About Log Analytics

Oracle Log Analytics is a cloud solution in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that lets you index, enrich, aggregate, explore, search, analyze, correlate, visualize and monitor all log data from your applications and system infrastructure on cloud or on-premises.

Topics:

Oracle Log Analytics provides multiple ways of gaining operational insights from your logs. You can:

  • Use the log explorer UI
  • Aggregate log information into dashboards
  • Utilize the APIs to ingest and analyze data
  • Integrate with other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services

The interactive visualizations provide several possibilities to slice and dice the data. Use the Cluster feature to reduce millions of log entries down to a small set of interesting log signatures, making it easy for you to review. The Link feature enables you to analyze logs in a transaction or identify anomalous patterns using the grouped view.
