# Mezmo

> Steadwing connects to your Mezmo account to search and analyze centralized logs during incidents, automatically identifying errors, anomalies, and patterns for root cause analysis.

## What does the Mezmo integration do?

The Mezmo integration gives Steadwing read access to your centralized logs so it can automatically search for errors, anomalies, and patterns that correlate with production incidents. During root cause analysis, Steadwing queries your Mezmo data to identify what went wrong without manual log investigation.
