  • Query performance data from the logs your applications collect
  • Create routines in Grok that summarize application usage daily
  • Coordinate releases between multiple bots
A Grok Bot conversation where the bot pulls connection logs for the most recent Railway deployment and summarizes request counts, status codes, latency, and resource usage
