What do you use for logging in your apps. At the moment I am using cronolog.

I was wondering what else are you using?

We use logrus at the moment. Most of what we write is in Go. You'll most likely get 100 different answers as it depends on level of abstraction, logging requirements, language etc etc

All custom.

And then you use logrotate to manage the logs?

We have to keep all log files for compliance reasons, so we just copy them to long term storage.

Cloud watch

Datadog and Cloud watch across various services and platforms.

And currently toying with Grafana Loki, for custom reporting and aggregation.

Sentry is nice for error logging and performance monitoring. Very easy to set up and the free tier is pretty decent

Copy over and then compress?

We use cronolog to do daily log rotation. In the early morning hours, we copy to archive, then compress.

Yeah, or compress and copy more likely. The log files are pretty large.
