#12If most of your stack is written in Python you could also consider setting up a custom log handler (with additional filters or formatters) such as https://pypi.org/project/slacker-log-handler/
The Python logging framework is quite flexible

Slack is convenient just because we use it for some other purposes.
Someone else pointed out that Telegram is also a good idea - that's very easy to do. I've set up Telegram alerts for other purposes.

Rate limits are present in chat apps to prevent the service from being abused. Notification tools don't have that.

#15Not trying to break your party, but GrayLog2 solves all those problems. Most businesses/startups do not need well marketed DataDog or Logtail. Free, fast, versatile, adaptable to almost every case
http://graylog2.org/ takes me to graylog.org whose pricing is not free and not cheap.
Your company?
Anyway - not a "competitor" to the genuinely free and open-source Swatchdog.

You may want to look a bit deeper than pricing page. And no, it's not my company.
Not sure what "genuinely free" means.
