Layerlog maintains clusters worldwide so that it can host your account in a region that is closest to you.
You’ll need to know your account’s region to configure shippers to send data to Layerlog. It is also important if you’re using the Layerlog API.
All services related to your account are hosted in the same region. This means you’ll ship logs, sign in, and access the API from the same region as your account.
How to look up your account region
You can find your account’s region by selecting > Settings > General from the top menu. Your two-letter region code is at the start of the region designation.
Another option is to sign in to your Layerlog account and look at the URL in the address bar.
If you see app.layerlog.com, your account is hosted in the US East (Northern Virginia).
All other regions have a two-letter region code.
For example, if you see app-eu.layerlog.com, then your account is in the Europe (Frankfurt) region.

Your listener host and API host will always be in the same region as your account.
