What it is

Watchlog combines infrastructure metrics, logs, distributed traces, real user monitoring, uptime checks, synthetic journeys, integrations, AI analysis, and alerting in one observability platform. Its agent collects host metrics such as CPU, memory, disk, network, load, and processes. Log monitoring provides full-text search, real-time alerting, and log-to-trace correlation. API checks support multi-region HTTP monitoring, response validation, latency and SLA tracking, and SSL certificate expiry monitoring. Alerts can route to Slack, Telegram, and webhooks; integrations include MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, Docker, Kubernetes, NGINX, IIS, PM2, and GitLab. The Free plan includes one monitoring agent, one API check, 10,000 custom events per month, limited log storage, and a basic dashboard. Pro costs $4.99 per month, billed with usage-based add-ons, and includes unlimited agents, up to 50 API checks, and full APM, RUM, and log monitoring. A 30-day trial is offered without a credit card to begin.
