SolarWinds Loggly is a cloud-hosted provider specializing in log management and analytics, with its headquarters located in San Francisco, California. Established in 2009 by Jon Gifford, Raffael Marty, and Kord Campbell, Loggly focused on delivering cloud-native log management solutions. Charlie Oppenheimer held the position of CEO until the company was acquired by SolarWinds on January 8, 2018, after which Loggly became part of the SolarWinds Cloud division.

This acquisition enhanced SolarWinds' offerings in cloud-based log management and analytics, strengthening its competitive stance within the sector.
History
Founded in 2009 by Jon Gifford, Raffael Marty, and Kord Campbell, Loggly grew its presence over time. In September 2012, it formed a partnership with App47, a mobile application management firm attracted by Loggly’s SaaS deployment approach.
On January 8, 2018, SolarWinds completed the acquisition of Loggly, thereby broadening its suite of log-monitoring solutions.
Funding
September 2013 marked the release of Loggly’s "Generation 2," which improved its platform by incorporating standard syslog collection capabilities alongside a graphical web interface to facilitate easier log event review and visualization. That same month, Loggly secured $10.5 million in investment led by Cisco and Data Collective, with additional contributions from Trinity Ventures, True Ventures, and Matrix Partners.
In October 2014, Loggly closed a $15 million Series C funding round spearheaded by Harmony Partners and supported by returning investors including Matrix Partners, Trinity Ventures, Cisco, Data Collective, and True Ventures. This brought total capital raised to $33.4 million. Concurrently, the company introduced the Dynamic Field Explorer feature to simplify developer troubleshooting and accelerate issue identification.
Operations
Based in San Francisco, California, Loggly employed 54 staff members as of October 2017 and served a client base numbering approximately 10,000. The company’s platform collects log data from diverse devices and provides real-time management tools equipped with trend analytics.
Technology
Loggly delivers a cloud-based log management solution that functions without relying on proprietary software agents. It utilizes open-source technologies such as Elasticsearch, Apache Lucene 4, and Apache Kafka to enable scalable processing and analysis of log data.
