I've been using timber for a while now, on a bunch of elixir apps I've been writing in 2017. I must say it's the best experience I've had with any 3rd party logging system. I love the context functionality which can be used to group together log events in order to identify patterns quicker.
Whenever I've had a problem, David at Timber has always been there to help and is very responsive!
A handy tip: I use sentry.io for error reporting. The first thing I do when I see a sentry error pop up is:
- Copy the sentry error ID
- Paste it into timber's search bar for offending the application
- Find the sentry log message "Sending error <blah> to sentry.io" or something similar
- Click on the timestamp to see what happened around that log entry
A simple way to quickly get more context that sentry would never be able to provide.
Pros:Beautiful interface, easy to setup, amazing support
Cons:A little light on 3rd party integrations
Before finding Timber.io I used to debug by other means and if that didn't work, I would ssh into the server logs because other log aggregation tools were too much overhead to setup. Needless to say I am very happy to have found Timber
Pros:Ease of setup, great ui
Cons:Want to be able to ignore sending certain logs (healthchecks, rollbar logs)
