Agent Setup

We recommend the use of Fluent-Bit or Vector but for migration we also support the datadog agent.

Configure Datadog Agent

Bronto

Welcome to Bronto

In Bronto Docs, you will find comprehensive guides to assist you in seamlessly integrating and using Bronto. 

Introduction

The [Agent setup](/getting-started/agent-setup) guide provides the necessary information to set up either Fluent Bit or Vector for forwarding your log data to Bronto.

Quick Ingest

Cloudflare provides a feature named Logpush that enables logs to be forwarded to 3rd party logging solutions. Logs are delivered near realtime in small batches.

Cloudflare

Fastly provides a feature to stream service logs to 3rd party solutions.

Fastly

This guide explains how to forward Azure logs to Bronto using Azure Event Hub and the Bronto log forwarder.

Azure Forwarder

The Search page in Bronto provides you with a powerful log explorer that allows you to quickly scan through millions of events to find the ones you need, and allows you to gain valuable insights through numerical queries.

Log Search

Bronto provides a simple point-and-click query builder for you to search, analyse and visualise your log data. We have several views which include Timeseries, Table, Top List, Pie Chart and Tree Map. These are explained in more detail here.

Query Syntax

You can leverage our query language to write search queries that allow you to visualiuze your log data in multiple ways.

Log Visualization

Bronto dashboards are a powerful way to visualize your log data and gain insights into your application's performance. Dashboards are driven by log-based metrics, which are calculated based on the log data you have ingested.

Dashboards

Saved Views make it easier for you and your organisation to switch between different troubleshooting contexts. You can access your account's saved views in the upper left corner of the UI.

Saved Views

Monitoring all of your infrastructure in one place would not be complete without the ability to know when critical changes are occurring.

Your Bronto Usage

Bronto offers a flexible access management system that allows you to customize the level at which you control access to your Bronto resources.

Access Control

API keys are unique to your organization. An API key is used by our logging integration methods as a unique identifier to route log data to your account. Using an API key alongside a Service name and Service namespace in your logging configurations, alows us to route log data to the correct service.

API Keys

To invite, modify or remove users, navigate to Settings page from the application sidebar, then select Users.

User Management

User Mangement

At Bronto, we prioritize the security and privacy of your data. We adhere to the highest standards of compliance and employ advanced security measures to protect your information.

Security

A powerful API for seamless log ingestion, data retrieval, and system management at scale.

Bronto API (1.0.0)

An Application Programming Interface (API) key is a unique identifier. The API Key must be provided as X-BRONTO-API-KEY in headers for the request to be authenticated and authorized by the API server according to the API Key's role. For further information about roles visit [our API Key docs] [/manage/manage-api-keys](/manage/manage-api-keys)

Users are given specific roles, where each role determines the user's permissions within the application. Those roles are as follows:

Users

Retrieve a list of users

Create a new user

Get a single user by ID

Delete a user by ID

Updates a user

Context is a REST API resource that allows the retrieval of a specified number of log events (default of 100) around a log event of interest, e.g. when a number of log events were returned by a previous query and you then decide you want to see the 50 log events before one of those returned log events. Log events can be retrieved either before, after, or both before and after the specified log event.

exports

Logs are a sequence of timestamped log events. Logs can be searched to view events matching a filter or to perform statistical functions on matching events.

Usage is a REST API resource that allows you to easily track your Bronto usage by retrieving usage data relating to data ingestion and amount of data searched, and allowing you to drill down for a specific dataset over a defined timeframe.

Get the usage over a period of time for a log id.

Get the usage over a period of time for a user per log id.

The REST API for searching data uses queries based on a subset of SQL, with 
the syntax as per https://docs.brontobytes.io/core-features/log-search/query-syntax/. 

There are two types of search:
+ event search: allows you to specify a filter and view the matching events returned in the
response. The response will be paginated if more than 50 matching events are returned.
+ statistical search:  allows you to analyse events using a range of aggregate functions, 
such as count(), which return a number.
