Logz.io has introduced a range of new features and improvements in 2018, including enhanced log management capabilities and expanded API functionalities. Users now have more control over data volume through revamped account management settings, enabling them to save and monitor account utilization metrics. New APIs have been added for exporting and importing Kibana objects, managing endpoints, and sending snapshots, enhancing data handling and alert management. The platform has also improved its alerting system by allowing multiple severity levels for different thresholds within the same alert. In addition, Logz.io has open-sourced two significant components, Sawmill and Apollo, contributing to the community with tools for data processing and continuous deployment. These developments underscore Logz.io's commitment to improving its cloud-based ELK service and engaging with the open-source community.
