Recommendations for a good logging service?

Howdy folks I'm looking for a good logging service for my product.

Basically I want to send bits of data to a server where I can later view that data.
I'm not looking for error logging(like sentry) btw.

About pricing - it would be good to have a generous free tier however I won't mind paying a few bucks a month to get started.

Anyone have any good recommendations?

    I would highly recommend logz.io. I'm using that for my startup and it has been working like a charm. I'm still on their free plan but plan to become a paying member as soon as my log traffic goes beyond the limit. They're basically based on Elastic search so their searching functionality is top notch.

      Looks good. I'm gonna try this out.

    Hi Shash, Interesting question. Are you able to give more information about the kind of data you are going to send, and what you are planning to do with it? Do you need search / filters / structured data?

      Sure, so something like:
      { "type":"error:network", "timestamp":new Date(), "payload":{} }

      I won't be accessing the data all the time but only sometimes just to check if there's a error happening somewhere or something is not working correctly. Filtering would be good if that app can parse json and make fields filterable but not strictly necessary. And sorting by a range of dates would be good too.

        Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, I don't know of anything that would work for this atm.
