Show HN: Z8Log – Structured logging your AI coding agent can query

Z8Log launched as a structured logging service that lets AI coding agents send, query, and administer logs directly from an IDE through downloadable AI skills. The service offers datasets with individual CORS-enabled API keys, dashboard sets of up to 12 cards, chart sets with four slots, and live log streaming with flow IDs for request tracing, with plans including 1, 2, or 5 dashboard and chart sets per dataset. Z8Log requires no SDK, accepting JSON logs over HTTP from backends, browsers, or scripts.

Structured logs,without the noise. Send logs, investigate errors, and manage dashboards and charts from your IDE with AI skills. Explore your data here, too. /// Dashboards Numbers that answer questions. Each Dashboard set holds up to 12 cards. Your plan includes 1, 2, or 5 sets per dataset. Each card is one formula over your logs, computed live for the timeframe you pick. - Count events, count distinct users, and calculate totals or averages from numeric JSON fields. - Generate all 12 cards from recent log patterns, or describe one card in plain English. - Switch between the last 5 minutes, the last 7 days, and more. Values refresh automatically. /// Charts See how values change over time. Each Chart set has four slots. Your plan includes 1, 2, or 5 sets per dataset. Add any Dashboard-style formula, and Charts calculates it once for every adaptive time bucket. - Choose a bar or line chart. Set its title and color, then move or swap it between the four slots. - Use formulas such as count level = ERROR or distinct data.userId to track the values you need. - Use the same timeframes as Dashboard. The chart adapts its bucket size and refreshes with your logs. /// Live logs Follow every event as it happens. The Logs tab streams new entries in real time. Filter by level and time range, search messages and flow IDs, and open any entry to see its full JSON. - Group related events with a flow ID and trace a request from start to finish. - Each dataset has its own API key. Keys are CORS-enabled, so browsers can log too. /// From your IDE Stay where you write code. Give your AI agent the Z8Log skills and API keys. Ask it to add logging, investigate production errors, and manage datasets, dashboard cards, and charts from your editor. - Add structured logs to your app with the Send logs skill. - Find errors and trace requests with the Query logs skill. - Create datasets and configure dashboard cards and charts with the Admin skill. Get the AI skills https://z8log.com/docs/skills Send logs Add Z8Log logging to checkout. Include a flow ID so I can trace each payment. Query logs Find checkout errors from the last hour and trace the failed requests. Admin Add an error-count card and a chart of checkout failures to my production dataset. /// Everything you need. Nothing you don't. Send JSON from any app Send logs over HTTP from your backend, browser, or scripts. No SDK needed. Find the events that matter Query log levels, time ranges, flow IDs, and nested JSON fields to narrow down a problem. Turn logs into metrics Count errors, track unique users, or measure average response times with dashboard cards and charts. Keep logs organized Separate apps and environments into datasets, each with its own API key. Follow a request Give related events the same flow ID to follow a signup, payment, or background job.
