History
Logentries was founded in 2010 in Dublin, Ireland by Viliam Holub and Trevor Parsons. Holub and Parsons worked together for over ten years at University College Dublin's Performance Engineering Laboratory, where they partnered with IBM to focus their research on root cause analysis of common performance and IT issues. The Logentries service was built on the technology stemming from this academic research. In October 2013, Logentries named Andrew Burton as CEO and President. At the same time, Logentries announced $10 million in Series-A funding from venture partners including Polaris Partners, Floodgate Fund, Frontline Ventures and RRE Ventures. In October 2015, Logentries was purchased by Rapid7 for US68 million dollars.
