Everything Seq does — operated for you

Pick a region and size; a pipeline provisions a dedicated Seq instance. No tickets, no waiting.

Each instance gets https://<id>.us1.seqhost.net with HTTPS enforced and HTTP redirected. Region is visible in the hostname.

Pick from a curated catalog of Datalust’s official stable releases — newest is the default. The genuine server, unmodified.

Pause compute to save money while keeping your storage; restart on demand from the portal.

Run one isolated instance per client or project under a single account and invoice.

Deletion takes a final backup and holds your data through a grace window before anything is destroyed.

Move between sizes with a brief restart; your storage is unaffected.

Grow disk without data loss when a log server fills up — the #1 operational risk, handled.

Customer-triggered upgrades with per-instance version pinning and a supported-version floor.

Events queue while your instance upgrades, resizes or restarts — and, because the gateway runs split-homed, even through a cluster-level incident — then drain. Nothing dropped, nothing for you to operate.

Your ingestion endpoint and API key belong to your account, not the instance behind them. We move them onto a restored, cloned or fully rebuilt instance with nothing changing on your side — so even a full instance replacement is invisible to your log sources, with no DNS alias or certificate plumbing for you to run.

Works with Serilog, NLog, OpenTelemetry, and seqcli exactly as documented — it is real Seq ingestion over port 443.

Seq’s MinimumLevelAccepted is served back on ingest responses through the gateway — Serilog’s dynamic leveling works as if you self-hosted.

Manage API keys inside Seq as normal: filters, level overrides, and per-key quotas all work.

Direct unbuffered ingestion is blocked by default with an actionable error, with a per-tenant opt-in toggle — so you can’t accidentally bypass the buffer.

Events and bytes per day from gateway metering, broken down buffered vs. direct, with blocked-attempt alerts.

Seq’s full signal-based query language and structured search, exactly as documented by Datalust.

Build the signals, dashboards, and charts you already know — they work because it is genuinely Seq.

Seq apps, email, and webhook alerting — outbound traffic is permitted.

Configure retention inside Seq; keep whatever fits your disk.

The complete Seq HTTP API and seqcli compatibility — automate anything you could on a self-hosted box.

A compressed daily snapshot to regional Azure Storage, included in every plan.

A month of restore points, stored in the same region as your instance.

Azure disk encryption with the Seq storage key escrowed in Key Vault.

One-click backup before risky changes and portal-driven restore (MVP restores run via support).

Take your complete storage archive and your encryption key on demand, or at offboarding. It runs anywhere Seq runs — leave anytime, by construction.

A dedicated namespace and dedicated disk per customer workspace. No shared Seq, ever.

Terminated at managed ingress; HTTP redirects to HTTPS with HSTS.

Email + password with TOTP MFA, plus Google, Microsoft, and GitHub SSO into the portal.

Admin / Editor / Viewer (and custom) portal roles, with a who-did-what-when audit log.

DPA, data-residency commitments, and a published subprocessor list ahead of EU customers.

Liveness and readiness probes with automatic restart on failure.

Real-time running / stopped / degraded status, pushed live via SignalR.

See storage headroom at a glance — the number that matters most for a log server.

Public component status at status.seqhost.com plus email notifications for incidents and maintenance.

Targeted 99.5% on Team and 99.9% on Business once we leave beta — final numbers TBD.
