Frustrated with CloudWatch Logs?

Q: CloudWatch is native, integration must be complex?

Seamless Integration & Migration: Getting logs into Oodle is straightforward via standard agents (Fluentd, Vector, OTEL) or AWS Firehose streaming. Fill this form and start ingesting logs with migration docs.

Q: We don't want another steep learning curve?

Designed for Ease of Use: Oodle is intuitive! Less reliance on query language due to powerful UI filtering. You'll see faster time-to-value and broader team adoption.

Q: Is Oodle as reliable as CloudWatch?

Absolutely. Oodle is built on a serverless, highly available architecture that ensures 99.9% uptime. The platform uses a separation of storage and compute design with:Amazon S3 for durable, 99.999999999% reliable storageStateless compute for resilience and availability zone awarenessAutomatic scaling to handle traffic spikesRegular security audits and compliance reviewsOodle's architecture is specifically designed to eliminate the scaling issues that can affect traditional observability platforms.

Q: We need to query across log groups. Can Oodle handle that?

Not only can Oodle handle cross-log-group queries, but it makes them significantly easier than CloudWatch. While CloudWatch requires you to specifically include multiple log groups in your query and often results in slow performance, Oodle allows you to:Query across log groups with a single, unified syntaxBrowse all log groups without needing to remember each group nameGet faster resultsThis capability significantly speeds up troubleshooting when issues span multiple services or components.

Q: We need the detailed monitoring that CloudWatch provides.

Oodle provides equally detailed (and in many cases more detailed) monitoring capabilities compared to CloudWatch. With Oodle, you get:High-cardinality metrics support without performance penaltiesAutomatic anomaly detection Cross-service correlation that gives you fuller contextThe ability to add more dimensions to your metrics for better analysisMany teams find they gain better observability insights after switching to Oodle.

Q: Won't switching disrupt our operations?

Oodle is designed for zero-disruption migrations:You can run Oodle alongside CloudWatch during transitionLog ingestion can be configured without changing application codeExisting alerts can be recreated in Oodle before decommissioning CloudWatchTeams can migrate in waves rather than all at onceThe phased approach ensures business continuity throughout the migration process.
