What Logystera is
What Logystera is.
And what it isn’t.
A failure detection engine for apps that have been left running blind. Plus the dashboards your team needs to actually see what’s happening.
Logystera reads logs, applies rules, and tells you when something is broken — with the dashboards to show state and the alerts to grab attention.
What Logystera is
Two things, working together: failure detection on every event, plus dashboards your team can actually read. Detection grabs your attention. Dashboards let anyone glance at state.
A failure detection engine
We already defined what “failure” means — tuned against real WordPress and Drupal production sites. Logystera evaluates those rules against every event, deterministically. When a condition is met, you get an alert with evidence.
Includes the dashboards your team needs
Pre-built dashboards for WordPress and Drupal — PHP warnings, deprecations, slow queries, memory, errors, auth, cron, email. Dashboards are how your team sees state at a glance. Failure detection is what gets your attention when something breaks.
Log-first by design
Logs are the only source of truth. Every metric is derived from log events. Nothing is sampled, estimated, or inferred. If it happened, it’s in the logs. If it’s in the logs, Logystera sees it.
Deterministic, not exploratory
Detection logic lives in rules. The processor evaluates every event against every applicable rule. Same input, same output. No ambiguity. The dashboards reflect what the rules already understand.
Opinionated about cardinality
Logystera controls what metrics exist. You don’t get infinite label combinations. Metric definitions are intentional, reviewed, and published as sets. This prevents the cardinality explosion that kills every monitoring system that lets users define arbitrary metrics.
What Logystera isn’t
Failure detection is the heart of the product. The dashboards are tuned to that purpose. So a few things Logystera doesn’t try to be:
Pre-built dashboards, opinionated by design
Today, Logystera ships dashboards opinionated for WordPress and Drupal failure modes. You don’t build them from scratch or tune queries — they work out of the box, tuned on real production failures. Custom dashboard building is on the roadmap; for now we focus on making the pre-built signals so good you don’t need to write your own.
Reads your logs for you
Today, Logystera reads logs and tells you what matters. You don’t grep through events or run ad-hoc queries — the rules and dashboards do that work. Log search and event exploration are on the roadmap; for now the focus is on surfacing the failures you actually need to act on.
Not generic monitoring
Logystera doesn’t “monitor everything.” It doesn’t give you 500 metrics to stare at. It detects specific, defined failures. Controlled cardinality. Deterministic evaluation. Signal, not noise.
Not an APM
No code instrumentation. No agents injected into your runtime. No distributed tracing. If you need function-level profiling, an APM is the right tool. If you need to know when cron stopped, use Logystera.
The core architecture (simplified)

Dashboards + alerts
State is visible on dashboards; alerts surface when something breaks — with evidence
How Logystera compares
Different categories of tools solve different problems. Here’s where Logystera fits.
| Logystera | Uptime monitors | APM platforms | Error trackers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detects silent failures (cron stopped, emails bouncing) | Built-in | Custom pipeline | app errors only | |
| Pre-built alerts for WP/Drupal | 30+ | — | DIY | — |
| Setup time | ~5 min | Minutes | Hours–days | Hours |
| Learning curve | None | None | Steep (custom queries) | Medium |
| Specialized for WP/Drupal | Generic | Generic |

If you need full APM and distributed traces, that’s a different tool. If you need to know your WordPress cron stopped running three months ago — and the dashboards your team can read at a glance — that’s Logystera.
