Turning exit1.dev Logs into Warehouse-Ready Data

Monitoring data belongs in your warehouse, not in a vendor’s walled garden. exit1.dev makes it painless to export logs and analytics so you can build your own dashboards without paying for yet another tool.

What you get for free

  • Complete request logs with timestamp, region, status, latency, and error details.
  • Uptime and response-time analytics for any tag or monitor group.
  • Unlimited history so you never lose data.

Export paths

CSV/Excel download

From the Logs screen, filter by monitor, timeframe, or status. Export straight to CSV or Excel. Hand it to finance, ops, or whoever needs a spreadsheet.

API access

Prefer automation? Use the exit1.dev API to pull logs in batches. Paginate through results and load them into BigQuery, Snowflake, or Redshift.

Scheduled jobs

Set a cron job or serverless function to export daily or hourly. Because the API is free, you can run it as often as you like.

Warehouse loading tips

  • Store raw logs in object storage (S3, GCS) first.
  • Use lightweight transforms (dbt, SQL scripts) to aggregate by monitor, status, and region.
  • Join with incident tickets or business metrics to show impact.

Dashboards without upsells

Once the data is in your warehouse, use whatever BI tool you already pay for. Power BI, Looker Studio, Metabase—it all works. exit1.dev doesn’t lock you in.

FAQs

Do exports cost extra?

No. Exports, API calls, and history are all part of the free tier.

How fast is the API?

Fast enough to pull thousands of records per request. Throttle with sensible intervals to avoid hammering yourself.

Can I filter by tag or status?

Yes. Both the UI export and the API let you filter by tags, status codes, regions, and time windows.

Is there a retention limit?

No. We keep your data. Delete it if you want, but we won’t force you.
