Loggly - http://loggly.com/ is a cloud-based log management service funded by True and Trinity. Logs are normally a real PITA, especially on something like EC2, but we make dealing with them fun and easy. Basically you point your logs at our servers where we catch them and store them safely away. We apply a fulltext index to the logs to make them searchable. Results can be processed with custom scripts you write and…

Out of curiosity: Do I have to install a cron or something to automatically scp my logs to your server? How does that work?

Stormpulse http://www.stormpulse.com Bootstrapped, just went profitable, 2 co-founders, recently hired employee #1 (me) and #2.

When I move the map the new parts take some time to load. Is it possible to preload some of them? Otherwise, great site.

The tiles or the "data"? Tiles are served over S3 (non-CloudFront).

I would kill someone for some Tim's at this point. ;)

Wow. I must be the only person living in Canada (though not Canadian) who does not like Tims. Though timbits are a different story.

Tims coffee is gross, brown water.

Actually you just run syslog-ng or rsyslog and point them at our servers by changing a few lines in your config file. If you need to monitor a file which isn't feeding into syslog, it's just a few extra steps.

For most of the AMIs on Amazon, you'll have one or the other of these services already installed on your machine. It takes about 2 minutes to set up the configuration.

We are still very much an alpha site, but we are bootstrapped and breaking even. We hope to add transparency to an otherwise obscured industry and to generally give people a chance to get writing help from experts.
