Sumo Logic Integration Guide
Sumo Logic is a log management and analytics service that leverages machine-generated big data to deliver real-time IT insights. It makes it easier to identify issues in complex applications and systems. TaskCall's Sumo Logic integration further enhances its capability by effectively increasing the visbility of the errors discovered by Sumo Logic and dispatching their information to the correct on-call responders for real-time troubleshooting.
