Centralized API Logging.

Capture, log, and analyze every API interaction across your environment. Gain full visibility into how APIs are actually being used.

Maximize security and insight with cetralized API logging

Get all of the context required to truly understand how your APIs are being used.

Total visibility into API activity

FireTail captures every request and response flowing through your APIs, whether internal, public, or third-party.

  • HTTP methods, headers, and parameters
  • Response bodies and status codes
  • Timestamps and IP information
  • Authentication and session metadata

This granular visibility gives security and platform teams the source of truth for all API activity.

Understand real-world API usage

See how APIs are actually used. FireTail logs show:

  • Which endpoints are most frequently accessed
  • Where sensitive data is being passed
  • Unusual or unexpected behaviors, like misuse or spikes

These insights are invaluable for establishing baselines, detecting threats, and enforcing usage policies across your organization.

Support compliance & investigations

FireTail helps your team maintain robust compliance by providing detailed logs of all API interactions. Whether you're meeting requirements for GDPR, HIPAA, or internal policies, FireTail’s logs offer the full traceability needed for audits and investigations.

Capture user actions, sensitive data access, and event timelines to ensure full accountability and transparency.

Search & filter logs instantly

Use powerful search and filtering to find specific API activity by endpoint, user, IP address, token, or method. Whether you're debugging or investigating an alert, answers are just a query away.

“Our API logs come from various different places in a lot of different flavors. Having them centralized and normalized is a big win.”

All of your API logs in one place

FireTail centralizes, normalizes and aggregates all of your API logs from across all of your providers and environments.

Most API activity goes unlogged and unseen.

APIs have become the primary way data moves and the primary way attackers try to exploit it. Without detailed, request-level logs, it’s nearly impossible to investigate incidents, understand misuse, or prove compliance. Traditional logging misses:

  • Sensitive data exposed in request/response bodies
  • Usage of undocumented endpoints or parameters
  • Outbound calls to risky or unauthorized services
  • The full picture during incident response

APIs can be run in any variety of configurations, such as:

  • Virtual machine with a load balancer
  • Serverless function directly exposed to the Internet
  • On a container in a cluster, with an API gateway (proprietary, cloud-provided or third-party)

All of these create access logs in different formats that are saved to different locations. This poses a huge challenge to security and security operations teams who are trying to manage risk and respond to incidents across their API footprint.

How FireTail solves API logging

FireTail delivers complete, context-rich API logging, purpose-built for security teams:

  • Full request and response capture
  • Structured and searchable logs
  • Real-time and historical access
  • Easy integration with SIEMs and data lakes
  • Data classification and tagging for sensitive content (PII, secrets, etc.)
  • Role-based access and retention controls

FireTail is the leader in API log normalization. FireTail has a unified logging target API. Customers can send logs from all cloud providers, on-prem APIs, or gateway / proxy plug-in modules to FireTail, and FireTail will process, parse, enrich and store them in a unified log stream.

Improve response times, boost compliance, and strengthen API security

Implementing FireTail transforms your API logging into a strategic asset. With detailed, real-time logs, security and engineering teams can:

  • Speed up incident detection and response by having a clear, auditable trail of every API interaction
  • Improve compliance by maintaining easily accessible logs that meet regulatory requirement
