We are committed to provide the best serverless monitoring and debugging experience out there. Here’s what we have been working on lately.

See real time logs with improved tailing functionality

We have recently rewritten our tailing functionality in Dashbird, making it more stable and giving you a better understanding what happens.

The new tailing functionality gives you a near real time insights of your running functions, showing you the logs and all other metric needed for the given invocation.

Trace customer data across all invocations with global search

We can also happily announce that we have revamped our search functionality and it’s already offering a lot of new value to our users with the added global search.

This allows you to quickly and painlessly search for a string, id or whatever else you need throughout the logs of all of your serverless functions!

Detect cold starts and retries in your lambda invocations

This is a big one! You can now see in your lambda invocations list what invocations have been retried and which ones have been cold-start invocations.

We aim to improve Dashbird every day and user feedback is extremely important for that, so please let us know if you have any feedback about these improvements and new features! We would really appreciate it!

Today we are excited to announce scheduled searches – a new feature on Dashbird that allows you to track any log event across your stack, turn it into time-series metric and also configure alert notifications based on it.

Why and How to Monitor Amazon OpenSearch Service

One of the most vital aspects to monitor is the metrics. You should know how your cluster performs and if it can keep up with the traffic. Learn more about monitoring Amazon OpenSearch Service.

Dashbird recently added support for ELB, so now you can keep track of your load balancers in one central place. It comes with all the information you expect from AWS monitoring services and more!

Made by developers for developers

Dashbird was born out of our own need for an enhanced serverless debugging and monitoring tool, and we take pride in being developers.

What our customers say

Dashbird gives us a simple and easy to use tool to have peace of mind and know that all of our Serverless functions are running correctly. We are instantly aware now if there’s a problem. We love the fact that we have enough information in the Slack notification itself to take appropriate action immediately and know exactly where the issue occurred.

Thanks to Dashbird the time to discover the occurrence of an issue reduced from 2-4 hours to a matter of seconds or minutes. It also means that hundreds of dollars are saved every month.

Great onboarding: it takes just a couple of minutes to connect an AWS account to an organization in Dashbird. The UI is clean and gives a good overview of what is happening with the Lambdas and API Gateways in the account.

I mean, it is just extremely time-saving. It’s so efficient! I don’t think it’s an exaggeration or dramatic to say that Dashbird has been a lifesaver for us.

Dashbird provides an easier interface to monitor and debug problems with our Lambdas. Relevant logs are simple to find and view. Dashbird’s support has been good, and they take product suggestions with grace.

Great UI. Easy to navigate through CloudWatch logs. Simple setup.

Dashbird helped us refine the size of our Lambdas, resulting in significantly reduced costs. We have Dashbird alert us in seconds via email when any of our functions behaves abnormally. Their app immediately makes the cause and severity of errors obvious.
