logging24 documentation overview

logging24 helps you collect logs, forward them reliably, and search them with a regex-first query model. This documentation is organized so new customers can read from top to bottom once, while returning users can still jump directly to the reference chapter they need.

Start here

If you are new to logging24, begin with Getting Started . It walks through the shortest path from account setup to your first live forwarding run and first query result.

Getting Started

The fastest path from account creation to your first forwarded log line and first successful query.

System Architecture

The platform model behind ingest, log streams, prefixes, permissions, and query execution. Read this early if you want the rest of the documentation to make more sense as a whole.

Forwarding

Decision guide for how logs should reach logging24. Start here when choosing between the Linux binary, the CLI, or integration paths such as syslog, Heroku, Promtail, and Python.

Querying

The canonical explanation of prefixes, time ranges, full-line regex matching, and analysis captures.

Web UI

The operator-facing interactive workflow for exploring logs, validating searches, and managing tokens before turning those tasks into automation.

l24 CLI

Reference for the command-line surface used for forwarding, importing, querying, and monitoring in scripts and shell workflows.

How-To Guides

Task-oriented guides for common operational problems once you already know the core platform concepts.

API Reference

Exact HTTP request and response details for integrating logging24 directly from your own tooling.

Regular Expression Primer

An optional learning track for readers who want extra regex help beyond the main querying chapter.

Recommended paths

New deployment

Read Getting Started , then System Architecture , then Forwarding . That sequence gives you the shortest path from setup to a sound production ingest model.

Need to search data now

Go to Querying for the search model, then use either Web UI for interactive exploration or l24 query for exact CLI syntax.

Integrating programmatically

Read Querying first, then use API Reference if you need to script queries directly over HTTP instead of using the CLI.
