Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge appearing as PAPERTRAIL* LOGGING on your credit card statement represents cloud syslog aggregation and log search services operated by SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge occurs because an active developer account renews its monthly logging plan, or because increased log volume automatically triggered a higher usage pricing tier. Software engineers and DevOps teams rely heavily on Papertrail to inspect real-time server logs, container output, and application event streams via reliable cloud syslog integrations.
Unreviewed registry note: To verify the charge, log in to your account at papertrail.com, check your plan and usage settings, and download historical PDF receipts. If you no longer require the monitoring service, you can downgrade your developer account to the free tier to halt future recurring billing.
