Simple Log Service provides several integration methods—SDK, API, CLI, Terraform, and visualization development—so you can automate log management and embed it directly into your business systems.
Integration methods
Simple Log Service supports multiple integration methods. Choose based on your workflow and technical preferences. If an access error occurs, use the Code, Message, and RequestId fields in the error response to identify and troubleshoot the issue. For more information, see Error codes.
SDK
Use Simple Log Service SDK instead of calling the API directly. The SDK handles data signing, timeouts, and retries for you, and returns structured response objects—so you spend less time on infrastructure and more on your application logic. SDKs are available for Java, C#, Go, Python, Node.js, TypeScript, PHP, and C++. For details, see Overview of Simple Log Service SDK.
Simple Log Service is compatible with Alibaba Cloud SDKs. For more information, see Alibaba Cloud SDKs.
API
Call API operations directly to collect, transform, query, analyze, visualize, consume, and ship data, or configure alerts. If you are comfortable with network protocols and at least one programming language, use the API for full control over your log data resources. To explore available operations without writing code, use Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI Explorer. For the full API reference, see API reference.
CLI
Simple Log Service CLI lets you manage log data from the command line. It runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. For more information, see CLI overview.
Terraform
Terraform is an open-source tool for programmatic IT resource orchestration. Use it to define Simple Log Service resources in configuration files, deploy them to Alibaba Cloud or third-party clouds, and version-control your infrastructure. For more information, see Use Terraform.
Visualization development
Share query and analysis results and dashboards with other users, or embed them in third-party systems such as Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and Grafana. For more information, see Visualization development.
