## AI overview

The article describes how fragmented logs, metrics, deployment activity, and monitoring dashboards complicate troubleshooting for applications running on Heroku. It presents the expanded SolarWinds Papertrail add-on as a unified solution for delivering logs and metrics together.

## Source excerpt

Modern applications on Heroku don't just consist of code. They are living ecosystems comprised of dynos, databases, third-party APIs, and complex user interactions. As these systems scale, so do the logs and metrics. To efficiently extract the signals from the noise you need to understand system health in the context of external factors, like resource [...] The post From Fragmented Logs to Full-Stack Visibility with SolarWinds Papertrail appeared first on Heroku.
