xlogs: How it Works
xlogs
does 3 things: helps save you money, helps track usage, and notifies you on changes.
- The Savings link above can help you save up to 71% by using AWS EC2 Reserved Instances
- Logfiles provide an audit trail - solves a security problem.
- Change Alerts tells you what changed in your AWS EC2 environment.
- View Sharing lets you show others your xlogs AWS information without disclosing your security keys.
xlogs: About Security
xlogs
needs read-only keys to do its job... but why trust us?
- We use SSL connections for all HTTP traffic.
- We don't store passwords in our database, we hash them using PBKDF2.
- We ask that you provide us READ-ONLY KEYS.
- You keys are never displayed on-screen. If you need to change them you'll have to enter them over again.
- You can reach a live person by phone if you need to - unheard of on a free service.
xlogs: Is it really free?
xlogs
is free. There are no pricing plans. We built it because we needed it. Maybe you do too.
- We get to build a loyal and happy AWS user community.
- We get to see how people are using AWS in real life.
- We get the wisdom of the AWS crowd, to help make xlogs better.
