There’s something satisfying about ending your work week with a clear picture of how things went. Did your services stay up? How many errors crept in? Are your cron jobs still running on schedule? These are questions that used to require logging into dashboards, clicking through pages, and mentally piecing together the story of your week. We thought there had to be a better way.

Starting today, Loggy can send you a weekly digest email every Friday at midnight UTC. It’s a single, beautifully designed email that summarizes everything that happened across all your services over the past seven days. No login required - just open your inbox and you’ll know exactly where things stand.

Why We Built This

Here’s the thing about observability tools: they’re incredibly useful when something goes wrong, but they can also create this low-level anxiety where you feel like you should be checking them constantly. “Did that deployment break anything?” “Is my backup job still running?” “How many errors did we have this week compared to last week?”

We wanted to flip that dynamic. Instead of you going to the data, the data comes to you - once a week, at a predictable time, in a format that takes about 30 seconds to scan. If everything looks good, you can close the email and enjoy your weekend with confidence. If something needs attention, you’ll know immediately and can dig deeper.

The weekly digest isn’t meant to replace real-time alerting (you should absolutely still have alerts set up for critical issues), but it serves a different purpose. It’s your weekly health check, your “state of the union” for your infrastructure. Think of it as the difference between a smoke alarm and a home inspection - you need both.

What the Email Looks Like

Rather than describe it, let me just show you. Here’s exactly what lands in your inbox every Friday:

Pretty nice, right? The email uses the same visual language as the Loggy dashboard - the same colors, the same typography, the same general feel. It’s not a wall of text or a boring table of numbers. It’s genuinely pleasant to look at, which matters more than you might think for something you’ll receive every week.

What’s In the Digest

When you open your weekly digest email, you’ll see a clean summary organized into sections based on what you’re actually using in Loggy. If you only use logging, you’ll only see logging stats. If you’re using heartbeats, uptime monitors, feature flags, and status pages, you’ll see all of those too.

At the top, there’s a quick overview showing your total log count for the week, along with how many errors and warnings you encountered. These numbers are color-coded - green for logs, red for errors, yellow for warnings - so you can instantly gauge whether it was a calm week or a rough one.

Below that, you’ll find your projects listed with their individual stats. Each project shows its total log count and breaks down any errors or warnings. If you had a project that generated 50 errors this week, it’ll stand out immediately. You can click through to view the actual logs in your dashboard if you want to investigate further.

For heartbeat monitoring, the digest shows your average uptime percentage across all heartbeats, plus a list of each one with its current status and individual uptime. A green dot means healthy, yellow means late, red means down. If you have a cron job that’s been silently failing, this is where you’ll catch it.

Uptime monitors get similar treatment - you’ll see your overall uptime percentage and a breakdown by monitor, including average response times. If one of your APIs has been running slow or experiencing intermittent failures, the weekly view makes patterns much easier to spot than checking day by day.

Feature flags show up with their current state - whether they’re on or off for boolean flags, or what percentage they’re rolled out to for gradual rollouts. This is particularly useful if you’ve been slowly rolling out a new feature and want to track your progress over time.

Finally, if you have status pages configured, you’ll see them listed with their monitor counts. It’s a quick way to remember what you’re publicly exposing and make sure everything is still configured correctly.

The Design Philosophy

We spent a lot of time on the email design, and I think it shows. The email is also fully responsive. Whether you’re checking it on your laptop, your phone, or your tablet, it’ll look good and be easy to read. We tested it across all the major email clients - Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and more - to make sure nothing breaks.

The information hierarchy is intentional too. The most important numbers (total logs, errors, warnings) are at the top in big, bold text. Then we drill down into specifics. You can scan the whole thing in about 30 seconds, or you can dig into the details if something catches your eye.

How to Enable It

Enabling the weekly digest takes about five seconds. Head to your Settings page, click on the Preferences tab, and you’ll see a toggle for “Weekly Digest” under the Notifications section. Flip it on, and you’re done.

The digest goes out every Friday at midnight UTC. We chose this timing deliberately - it gives you a complete picture of your work week (Monday through Friday for most people), and it arrives at a time when you’re likely wrapping up rather than in the middle of something urgent. If you’re in a different timezone, you might receive it Thursday evening or Friday morning local time, but the data will always cover the same seven-day period.

There’s a small note under the toggle that reminds you of the timing: “Sent every Friday at midnight UTC.” We added this because we got feedback that people wanted to know exactly when to expect the email without having to look it up.

What’s Next

The weekly digest is just the beginning of what we want to do with proactive communication. We’re already thinking about monthly summaries for longer-term trend analysis, customizable digest schedules (maybe you want it on Monday mornings instead), and the ability to include or exclude specific projects from the digest.

We’re also exploring the idea of “smart insights” - where the digest doesn’t just show you numbers, but actually calls out things that look unusual. “Your error rate was 3x higher than last week” or “Your API response time has been trending upward for the past month.” These kinds of insights require more sophisticated analysis, but they’d make the digest even more valuable.

For now, though, we’re excited to get the basic weekly digest into your hands. It’s one of those features that seems simple on the surface but required a lot of thought to get right - what to include, what to exclude, how to present the data, when to send it. We think we’ve landed on something genuinely useful, and we can’t wait to hear what you think.

As always, if you have feedback or ideas for how we can make the weekly digest better, drop us a line at [email protected]. We read every message, and your input directly shapes what we build next.

Happy Friday, and happy logging!
