Cloud Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale and can ingest application and platform log data, as well as custom log data from GKE environments, VMs, and other services inside and outside of Google Cloud. Get advanced performance, troubleshooting, security, and business insights with Log Analytics, integrating the power of BigQuery into Cloud Logging.
Built-in metrics observability at scale
Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, uptime, and overall health of cloud-powered applications. Collect metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud services, hosted uptime probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application components. Visualize this data on charts and dashboards and create alerts so you are notified when metrics are outside of expected ranges.
Stand-alone managed service for running and scaling Prometheus
Managed Service for Prometheus is a fully managed Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution, built on top of the same globally scalable data store as Cloud Monitoring. Keep your existing visualization, analysis, and alerting services, as this data can be queried with PromQL or Cloud Monitoring.
Monitor and improve your application's performance
Application Performance Management (APM) combines the monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities of Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring with Cloud Trace and Cloud Profiler to help you reduce latency and cost so you can run more efficient applications.

Powerful Searching and Filtering Using fast and intuitive search tools, you can search, filter, and analyze log data to identify and fix issues before they affect your business and prevent them from getting worse.
Saved Searches & Log Taggings Rerun recent and saved searches without typing them again. Save any query as Saved Search or Alert Query. Run Live Tail for any Saved Search. Autocomplete recent and saved searches. Tag Saved Searches with custom labels and colors. See log charts for Saved Searches at a glance, without running them.

Just some of the things you can do with Sematext Logs
Integration with other Sematext Cloud components, such as Infrastructure Monitoring, Synthetics, and Experience. For example, you can have dashboards with widgets from any component, so you can see which error caused that CPU spike
Spike-friendly pricing. Ingestion is averaged out and calculated on top of the “base” plan. For example, if you have the cheapest paid plan ($50/month, supports 1GB/day) and send 60GB in a month (2GB per day, on average), you end up paying $100
Configurable overage – you can choose when Sematext stops accepting logs, to control your cost
Per-silo pricing. You can create multiple “apps”, for example, Production and QA. Each can have its own plan (volume, retention) and overage configuration
Agent-free: any log shipper or library that works with syslog or Elasticsearch will work with Sematext Logs
Elasticsearch API access beyond indexing: you can run searches, export data, create custom templates, and more
Extra features on top of the ELK stack are available, such as role-based access control, alerting, and anomaly detection
