What is Seq?
Seq is a self-hosted server application designed for collecting and searching application log events. Its deeply integrated query language and JSON-centric data model are built to smoothly scale from simple log searches to complex diagnostic and analytical tasks. Seq runs on Windows as well as Docker/Linux; integrations are available for major structured logging libraries across most popular platforms, including .NET (ASP.NET Core and Serilog), Node.js (Bunyan), Python, Ruby, Java, and more.
Beyond exploratory application diagnostics (analyzing log events when issues arise), dashboards and notifications offer proactive monitoring and alerting. Plugin notification targets include Slack and other team chat services, email, and major issue trackers.
A complete HTTP API and cross-platform CLI client provide easy automation and scripting for common tasks.
