Cloudflare, Inc. announced the general availability of Cloudflare Log Explorer, to help give businesses instant access to critical security and performance insights across their IT environments. Now, customers can analyze, investigate, and monitor for security attacks with log line level insights across their entire business-natively within the Cloudflare Dashboard-eliminating the need to forward logs to third party security analysis tools, saving security teams time and reducing overall cost. Security and operations teams rely on logs for critical insights, which enables them to troubleshoot issues, investigate security incidents, and optimize application and infrastructure performance, reliability, and security.
Today, organizations often have to rely on external monitoring tools in order to capture logs and get this visibility. However, configuring all of these tools is cumbersome and expensive--requiring businesses to set up and pay for storage--not to mention learning a proprietary query language just to simply access their own data. Switching between platforms also eliminates context on potential threats and slows down response times-holding teams back from resolving issues quickly.
These are oftentimes large quantities of data, which further increases both cost and complexity. Log Explorer has been previewed by over 500 hundred customers, allowing them to investigate issues, act faster and reduce log storage costs-without needing to leave the Cloudflare dashboard. Now, with the general availability, Cloudflare is expanding these capabilities to anyone, allowing business to: Reduce the cost and complexity of third party tooling: One-click setup makes it easy to start analyzing Cloudflare logs instantly--no pipelines, shipping, or tuning required.
Investigate security and performance issues from a single source: Businesses can search HTTP, security event, and Zero Trust logs natively within Cloudflare. Fix problems faster with an in-dashboard response: Organizations can take action instantly to reduce impact--all without leaving the Cloudflare dashboard. Meet compliance requirements with flexible retention: With Log Explorer, organizations will soon be able to easily set custom log retention policies to satisfy audit, compliance, or internal governance needs.
