It is difficult to look for each of the settings that happen around an inquiry. I've needed to download logs from PaperTrail and use grep. Live following is fine, however, looking through old logs can be exceptionally sluggish. PaperTrail doesn't offer any investigation highlights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PaperTrail solving and how is that benefiting you? PaperTrail serves a truly significant capacity for us: merged logging. As applications get more muddled and move to different VMs, it can get logically more diligently to sort out where issues are happening. Probably the most effective way to fix this is to get logs naturally sent out of our VMs and into a comprehensive view. PaperTrail does that for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
