Helping Clients with Performance- Related Issues A decade ago , Sematext was started as a professional service organization . Their service back then included consulting , support and training for Elasticsearch and Apache Solr . While dealing with massive clusters , and helping clients with performancerelated issues , the company found itself in a dire need of tools that were imperative with regards to Solr and Elasticsearch performance metrics . But due to a shortage of tools back then , they could only provide unified monitoring and log management solutions . This prompted Sematext to build its very own tools .
Eventually , Elasticsearch and ELK ( aka Elastic Stack ) became immensely popular among the DevOps circuit for building log indexing and searching functionality . Their Elastic Stack was seen and preferred by the masses as a cheaper alternative of Splunk . Sematext already possessed a deep Elastic Stack expertise , and adding log management to the already existing infrastructure and application performance monitoring was the obvious next step for them . This was the cause behind Sematext ending up with Sematext Cloud , thereby offering an all-in-one unified monitoring and log management .
The Past is Always Tense ; It ’ s about Making the Future Perfect DevOps teams of different organization tend to invest a lot of time and energy to automate the whole workflow , such as CI pipelines and automated deployment , as well as in monitoring operations . Improvements in applications require a consistent need to learn from past failures and strategies , to avoid any repetition of the same .
Sematext provides logging and monitoring tools to gain operational intelligence from development , staging and production environments . They realize that visibility of application and infrastructure metrics combined with logs is what helps an enterprise identify pre-existing and potential issues . It serves as the first step in each of its iteration to solve identified technical problems .
Helping DevOps Team Spend Less Time on Troubleshooting Sematext ’ s Cloud integration enables their customers to collect metrics , logs , and events across their entire stack . They go beyond collecting metrics and detecting anomalies by uncovering applications ’ slowest transactions , tracing communication between servers and applications , and others . Sematext includes a fully-integrated Kibana and exposes the Elasticsearch API . It works smoothly with all standard logging facilities and agents – such as Logstash , Fluentd , Flume , Filebeat , etc . – and integrates the same within minutes . By enabling businesses to collect metrics , logs and events easily – their solution provides a fullstack of visibility through a single pane of glass and helps businesses to extract value from those accumulated data .
