FAQPage Schema
How do I query production logs to investigate application errors?

Query production logs by configuring a BetterStack cloud connection and executing structured queries against your telemetry data sources. This enables rapid incident response by filtering log entries by hostname, appname, and time bounds to pinpoint specific application errors.

What is the best way to analyze historical telemetry data for system health monitoring?

Analyzing historical telemetry data for system health monitoring is best done using predefined query templates and MCP tooling. This approach allows you to run time-bound searches across production environments to identify long-term patterns and diagnose system health issues.

Do I need a cloud connection setup to run log analysis queries?

Yes, a cloud connection setup is required to run log analysis queries. You must establish a cloud connection for your BetterStack source and handle secure credentials before you can begin querying telemetry data and exploring log sources.

Can I filter production logs by specific fields like hostname or appname?

Yes, you can filter production logs by specific fields like hostname or appname. The query tooling provides comprehensive guidance on extracting fields and applying filters to speed up debugging and isolate issues within your production environments.

How does real-time debugging work with BetterStack MCP data sources?

Real-time debugging with BetterStack MCP data sources works by executing structured queries against live production logs. It leverages predefined MCP tools to explore telemetry data, allowing you to identify and resolve production-log issues as they occur.
