https://www.hyperdx.io/docs/oss-vs-cloud This page shows event pattern available for both oss vs. cloud. The blog doesn't mention exactly how this is being which would be an interesting read but I understand if a secret sauce. I recall quite a few years ago a standalone commercial & hosted tool for doing something like this just on logs for anomaly detection. Anyone has any reference for similar tools for working wit…

It's not secret! We want to be as open as possible - and it's in the OSS version if you want to try it out. The technical details are best explained by the authors of the original paper [1]. We weren't smart enough to come up with it on our own and can't take credit for that haha [1] http://jiemingzhu.github.io/pub/pjhe_icws2017.pdf

Interesting read! Do you have more such paper recommendations?

Where do you discover these papers to read?

This looks really cool, congrats on the launch! I haven’t had time to dig in proper, but this seems like something that would fit perfectly for “local dev” logging as well. I struggled to find a good solution for this, ending up Winston -> JSON, with a simpler “dump to terminal” script running. (The app I’m building does a ton of “in the background” work, and I wanted to present both “user interactions” and “backgrou…

Have you tried lnav? It has somewhat steeper learning curve but it'd fit the bill. One small binary and some log parsing config, and you are good to go.

Sorry for the late reply! I'd probably have to dig pretty deep into my browser history, but we did some searching around, and largely looked for some benchmark papers to get an overview and from there could easily branch out to different implementations (from the citations).

Generally pretty good way to approach research papers in a new field I recall being taught, there's always some sort of "landscape overview" paper being published that can help distill down the SoTA and you can just follow the references.

Agreed! It's per-host pricing can obliterate budgets if you use a fleet of small instances (which is crazy to me their pricing dictates your infra...) Would love to have you check us out! Let me know if you run into any issues - feel free to hop on our discord as well :)

We have DD agent setup which handles the log aggregation from our Docker containers, and feeds them in. Does this project have that tooling as well or is the ingress of logs left to the user?

Shoot sorry I totally missed this comment - if you're using a docker logging driver, you can use the same thing but just configure it to point towards us via the fluentd logger [1].

Otherwise you can use the OpenTelemetry collector[2] to do the same[3].

I’d be interested in what you found difficult to use lnav, if you have a minute.
