SEQ FAQs

Question 1

How does SEQ integrate with Large Language Models like Claude?

Accepted Answer

SEQ integrates by serving as an MCP server that LLMs can connect to. Users can issue natural language commands to their LLM, which then translates these into specific queries or actions for SEQ, enabling a conversational and intuitive log analysis experience.

Question 2

What log analysis capabilities does SEQ provide?

Accepted Answer

SEQ empowers LLMs to perform various log analysis tasks, including searching log events with powerful filter syntax, retrieving detailed information for specific events, conducting statistical analysis of log patterns over time, listing saved searches (signals), and monitoring your SEQ server's health status.

Question 3

What is SEQ and its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

SEQ is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to enable Large Language Models (LLMs) to query, analyze, and manage log data directly from your SEQ structured logging servers. It acts as a bridge, transforming natural language requests into actionable log insights.

Question 4

Is SEQ secure for handling sensitive log data?

Accepted Answer

Yes, security is a key focus. SEQ performs only read-only operations on your logs, validates all incoming requests, includes timeout protection for long queries, and handles API keys securely without logging or exposing them, ensuring your data remains protected.

Question 5

What are the technical requirements for setting up SEQ?

Accepted Answer

To set up SEQ, you'll need Node.js 18+ or Docker for deployment. You also require access to a running SEQ structured logging server instance and an optional SEQ API key if your instance has authentication enabled. Configuration involves setting environment variables for your SEQ server details.
