What Watchlog is
Watchlog brings infrastructure metrics, logs, distributed traces, real user monitoring, uptime checks, synthetic journeys, integrations, AI analysis, and alerting into one observability platform. Its agent collects host data such as CPU, memory, disk, network, load, and processes. Log tools provide full-text search, real-time alerts, and log-to-trace correlation. API checks can monitor HTTP endpoints across regions, validate responses, track latency and SLAs, and monitor SSL certificate expiry. Alerts can be routed to Slack, Telegram, and webhooks. The integration catalog includes 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 is listed at $4.99 a month with usage-based add-ons; Enterprise instances run on dedicated infrastructure managed by Watchlog. A 30-day trial is available without a credit card to begin.
