So I'm not in your target market, but just throwing this out there, I do a lot of client or client/server development (e.g. mobile). And so something that I really want is a logging service that creates unified client/server logs and treats both clients and servers as equal partners.
There are just so many server logging services (Loggly, Splunk, Logentries, etc.) and some of them even have some shitty client logging feature as an afterthought. But if you're serious about catching both client and server issues you either have to use separate dedicated client/server products, or roll your own server on FluentD or similar. Which, I'd like to point out, is terrible to set up on VPS or inside Docker because you have to tweak all sorts of Linux kernel parameters so that the network stack performs well[1].
So I mean maybe there is a great market for Yet Another Loggly Service out there, and if so, hats off to you. But I have spent a lot of time googling for a logging product I can use as a client/server person, and I've got nothing. So if you (or anyone on HN really) can easily enter that market, I will be your first customer. E-mail in profile.

- StavrosK 13y agoMaybe this can be my next weekend project. I've been itching to try Rethink, and it sounds ideal for this sort of thing. What sorts of logs are you thinking of? By the way, you can email me if you want to discuss this more at length (email is in profile).

For anyone else interested in real time monitoring of servers and applications in ways that logs cannot help, please take a look at http://www.inetco.com/products-and-services/inetco-netstream-splunk/ http://www.inetco.com/products-and-services/inetco-netstream...
