I disliked a lot of things about working at Meta, the monorepo was not one... it was truly amazing, and very well done.

I was very impressed by Scuba's ability to ingest and search data... and very unimpressed by the interface. I found it terribly unintuitive, and often didn't get you what you wante…

This isn't a great argument... sure, Splunk "saved the day" because it caught that really bad security thing... but what other tools, at half the cost, could have also "saved the d…

100% this... profit, or it's not worth it

>Their feature flagging system was also on point. Which one... there are like 3 (or more)? The ones I worked with were the single biggest cause of SEVs. I wrote some tooling around…

This is exactly why I build log-store. Can easily handle 60k logs/sec, but I think more importantly is the query interface. Commands to help you extract value from your logs, inclu…

https://log-store.com - Going for a low-cost alternative to Splunk. Everyone seems to love Splunk, except for the price. My goal is to replicate 75% or so of the most-used features…

I asked a slightly different question, but I'd love to hear about your experience running Splunk: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34412176

Everyone I've spoken to loves Splunk, but hates the price. If there were a cheaper alternative to Splunk, what are the features it would need to have before you'd ever considering …

The interface (GUI) is OK (and looks better than mine honestly), but the usability isn't great. The query syntax is tough to grok IMO. Using the sample dataset it took myself and a…

Only binary. Ultimately I would like to sell it, but just looking for feedback at the moment.

Thanks! Would love to know more about your experience running Splunk... Can I reach out to you? Looking for some small niche... Industrial, automotive, even garbage truck monitorin…

I guess I misread your comment... my apologies. What I'm building is more a replacement for Splunk: on-prem log analytics. As you point out, it is not compatible w/Elasticsearch in…

I've been working on one: log-store.com It has a DB built-in that is schema-less, but it's really the frontend I've been trying to focus on, as I think the interface to Kibana is p…

That's _exactly_ what I'm trying to build, and you don't have to pay anything. I was frustrated with what I thought was a poor interface for Kibana, and having to deal with schema …

I hypothesize it's not useful because you're using grep. If you use a tool that can show you multiple lines all tied by a request ID, it becomes much more helpful.

Agreed! Centralizing logs is so helpful, but you don't know it until you've done it. Too many people rely upon grep, when a handy tool is just a download away. Plug for said too: h…

Working on a startup to basically be 75% of the features of Splunk at 50% the cost: https://log-store.com/ Right now it's 100% free, because I'm just looking for user feedback. I t…

I'm working on a startup that ingests logs, and you can easily consume them via API as that's how the GUI works. Shoot me an email if you'd like to know more... no charge if you fi…

I posted above, but starting log-store.com so I'm trying to promote it in threads without being too pushy :-) It's in beta and free. My plan is honestly to have my pricing be free …

Would love to know more about specific use-cases you've been talking to Datadog about. I'm starting a company (log-store.com) that I pitch to people as 75% of the features of Splun…

No Splunk[1]? They're the defacto enterprise log platform. [1]: https://www.splunk.com/

I've been working on something similar as I dislike ES's JSON DSL or Kibana's interface: https://log-store.com/ It's not open source but old skool '90s-style freeware. The current …
