Centralized Logging

One thing that seems to be missing from the platform is logging and monitoring.  The current monitors are great from an infrastructure perspective, but they don't allow me to trigger on application errors.  All log access, consolidation, etc. is all very manual (which, I understand, may be intentional).  However, when I look at AWS's Cloud Watch I see a lot of potential for something similar here - especially now with your spaces and kubernetes offerings.

The main aspects of this feature would be:

  1. Access to logs (for droplets - k8s containers can already be accessed through the k8s dashboard)
  2. Persistence of logs (if I delete a droplet or k8s container, it'd be nice to not lose those logs)
  3. Bonus: Monitor of logs (allows me to look for application specific exceptions for alerting)

    Hi, I'm the product manager for customer-facing monitoring. We have no concrete plans for building out a customer-facing logging product; however, we are working on new app-level metrics (uptime, response time) and the ability to collect and visualize custom metrics. Longer-term we are open to collecting and surfacing language-specific metrics if there's sufficient interest.

    In the interim, you might look into what's available and planned for Marketplace integrations: https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/category/monitoring
