It would be great if the logs could describe a bit what exactly one has to do to use this as an alternative to Grafana Loki. How do I get my logs (e.g. local text files from disk like nginx logs, or files that need transformation like systemd journal logs) into ClickHouse in a way that's useful for Telescope? What kind of indices do I have to configure so that queries are fast? Ideally with some examples. How can I m…

This one seems to be optimized for log viewing at the moment, are there any DataDog alternatives built on top of Clickhouse, which supports full range of OpenTelemetry features?

There are these guys which are based on OTEL: https://github.com/hyperdxio/hyperdx

+1 for hyperdx, I'm testing it and love it.

There's also Logdy ( https://github.com/logdyhq/logdy-core ) that can work with raw files and comes with a UI as well in a single precompiled binary so no need for installs and setups. If you're looking for a simple solution for browsing log files with a web UI, this might be it! (I'm the author)

Heyo I’ve noticed Lodgy come up a few times on HN now, and was curious if you explored making it a proper desktop application instead of a two-part UI and CLI application. Did you rule that out for some reason?

Just curious, as I'm in the market - why should I use this instead of the ELK stack?

It is not same as OP, but according to a similar o11y stack on top of Clickhouse, Signoz, Clickhouse based logging costs less than ELK for storage and performs better:

Very cool! Just digging in. Does it works with the new JSON format clickhouse introduced recently? Also, what service did you use to make the video, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks!

I haven't tested the new JSON format in ClickHouse yet, but even if something doesn't work at the moment, fixing it should be trivial.

As for the video service, it wasn’t actually a service but rather a set of local tools:

- Video capture/screenshots - macOS default tools

- Screenshot editing - GIMP

- Voice generation - https://elevenlabs.io/app/speech-synthesis/text-to-speech

- Montage – DaVinci Resolve 19
