FAQ
Do I need to change my NGINX config?
Usually no. Point the integration to your access/error logs. If you use a custom log format, set the parser pattern in settings.
How long is data retained?
Real-time by default; retention depends on plan. You can query custom time ranges at any time.
Can I set alerts?
Yes. Create alerts on error rate, requests, or status codes and deliver via Webhook, Slack, or Telegram.
Is there an Enterprise deployment?
Yes. Watchlog can be deployed on a dedicated server with your domain and branding; public sign-up is disabled.
