What's new in Bronto

Metrics Explorer

Bronto now supports metrics alongside logs and traces. Use the Metrics Explorer to query any metric, filter with SQL, group by attributes, and visualize trends over time — all retained for 12 months.

Full Tracing with Logs Correlation

Bronto now has a full tracing experience with spans, latency and error trends over time, and drill-downs. Traces and logs are bidirectionally correlated so you can jump seamlessly from a span to its logs and back.

Bronto MCP, Hosted

Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Vercel, or any MCP-compatible client to Bronto in seconds — no local setup required.

One Unified Search Mode, Powered by SQL

We unified the smart builder and search into a single SQL-powered mode with autocomplete and keyboard shortcuts, making filtering across the platform faster and smoother.

Favorite and Default Across Bronto

A new way to navigate everything you build in Bronto — favorite logs, dashboards, and alerts, and set defaults so the things you use most are always one click away.

Automatic Data Organization

Bronto automatically organizes incoming log data behind the scenes, so searches stay fast without you defining schemas, partition keys, or worrying about cardinality.

LLM-Generated Alert Investigations

When an alert fires, Bronto uses an LLM to query the relevant logs and generate a detailed report with likely causes and next steps.

Global Query Filters on Dashboards

Apply a single query filter across every widget on a dashboard to quickly slice data, isolate environments, and spot trends.

Link Logs Directly to Source Code

Statement IDs link every log event back to the exact line of source code that produced it, so you can jump straight from a log to the code.

Create Widgets with a Prompt in Plain English

Describe the chart you want in plain English and Bronto builds the widget for you — query, visualization, name, and description included.

Connect Log Data to AI Agents

Local MCP exposes your Bronto logs to AI agents like Claude Code, so they can search telemetry and act on warnings without leaving your editor.

Custom Parser

Build, configure, and manage parsers that extract structured data from raw logs, transforming unstructured text into queryable, analyzable log events. Visit our help docs for more here.

Order events quickly

You can now sort events by column in the "List of Events" view, in either ascending or descending order. Events will display in the selected sort order. Visit our help docs for more here.

Create & Manage Teams

Create a new team to organize users and manage permissions. Visit our help docs for more here.

Team Assignment

Assign select datasets to a given team.

Monthly Ingestion Limit

You can now set a monthly ingestion limit (in Bytes, GB, TB, etc.). This limit will be reflected in the Usage Explorer to help you monitor and highlight your team's data consumption.

Asynchronous API

Added async API support for long-running queries. Clients can poll progress, receive partial results, and cancel requests. Improves resilience to timeouts and network interruptions.

Create & Manage Usage Alerts

Create an alert based on your monthly Search or Ingestion usage. Alerts can be triggered if you exceed the chosen threshold for the current month.

Create and Manage Tags

Use tags to categorize your datasets, enabling streamlined organization and advanced filtering capabilities across our usage analytics.

Role Based Access Control - RBAC

Custom Roles - Create and manage custom roles with granular permissions (create, read, update, and delete) across key capabilities such as Access Management, API keys, Dashboards, Monitors, and Datasets. Visit our help docs for more here.

Mask PII Data at Search

Automatically mask PII data at search. You can enable PII masking in Bronto to hide any personal identifiable information that may be present in your log data. To enable PII masking you must create a custom role with the Read PII Data permission disabled, and associate the role with individual users. Users will see ******** in place of potentially sensitive information.

Automatic Error Detection

Bronto now automatically detects critical log events and allows users to jump directly into the data for deeper analysis. For HTTP-like logs, status codes are categorized automatically: 5xx as Error and 4xx as Warn. For application logs without a defined log level, errors are detected from stack traces, Kubernetes klog errors, Kernel Out of Memory errors, and more. This accelerates troubleshooting.

Send Data from Microsoft Azure

Seamlessly send data from your Azure environment to Bronto using an Event Hub, enabling real-time ingestion and analysis of your logs and events. Visit our help docs for more here.

Percentiles now Available in Dashboards

Analyze your data in more depth with our new percentile distribution views. Dashboards now support P50, P75, P90, P95, P99 and P999 visualizations, giving you comprehensive insights into performance patterns and outliers. These statistical viewpoints help you understand not just average behavior, but also edge cases that might impact user experience.

Top List

Top List visualisation displays a list of search values with the highest or lowest metrics or event values. Examples include graphing CPU usage, disk space, or costs of particular services.

Stay informed about potential future issues or maintenance windows by subscribing to our status page. On this page you'll also find our uptime metrics and a history of any past incidents.
