Logs Now Generally Available
PostHog has announced general availability of its Logs feature, moving it from beta status. This release positions Logs as the final destination for developers investigating system issues—whether starting from an alert, error, or user report, debugging workflows ultimately converge here.
Key Capabilities and Integration
Logs is built on standard OpenTelemetry ingestion (OTLP), eliminating the need for proprietary SDKs or new instrumentation models. Developers can route existing OpenTelemetry logs with minimal configuration. The feature integrates seamlessly with PostHog's broader platform:
- Frontend and backend logs live together and are automatically linked to users and sessions
- Browser logs captured via PostHog JS are ingested alongside backend logs
- Logs tie directly to session replays and error tracking, creating a unified investigation flow
- Structured filtering by service, severity, user IDs, and custom attributes
- AI-powered insights can summarize patterns and flag anomalies
Pricing and Availability
The general availability release includes:
- Free tier: 50 GB/month with 7-day retention
- Paid tier: $0.25 per GiB ingested (volume discount to $0.15/GiB at 300+ GB)
- No per-seat or query fees
- All beta users receive one complimentary month
The release was informed by PostHog's internal dogfooding—engineers used Logs to debug PostHog itself, uncovering cases where previous logging silently hid critical issues like repeated out-of-memory crashes caused by unintended large payload logging.
