- Cloud-based services such as [Sumo Logic](https://www.sumologic.com/), [Splunk Cloud](http://www.splunk.com/en_us/cloud.html), [Scalyr](https://www.scalyr.com/), and [Loggly](https://www.loggly.com/) are the easiest to set up and use (and also the most expensive, which may be a factor depending on how much log data you have).
- Major open source alternatives include [Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch), [Logstash](https://github.com/elastic/logstash), and [Kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana) (the “[Elastic Stack](https://www.elastic.co/webinars/introduction-elk-stack)”) and [Graylog](https://www.graylog.org/).
- If you can afford it (you have little data or lots of money) and don’t have special needs, it makes sense to use hosted services whenever possible, since setting up your own scalable log processing systems is notoriously time consuming.
- **Track and graph statistics:** The AWS Console can show you simple graphs from CloudWatch, you typically will want to track and graph many kinds of statistics, from CloudWatch and your applications. Collect and export helpful metrics everywhere you can (and as long as volume is manageable enough you can afford it).

- Services like [Librato](https://www.librato.com/), [KeenIO](https://keen.io/), and [Datadog](https://www.datadoghq.com/) have fancier features or better user interfaces that can save a lot of time. (A more detailed comparison is [here](http://blog.takipi.com/production-tools-guide/visualization-and-metrics/).)
- [Grafana](https://github.com/grafana/grafana) and [Graphite](https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web) are leading open source options.
- Use [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io) or [Graphite](https://github.com/graphite-project/graphite-web) as timeseries databases for your metrics (both are open source).
- [Grafana](https://github.com/grafana/grafana) can visualize with dashboards the stored metrics of both timeseries databases (also open source).
