Summary: OpenObserve (O2 for short) is a cloud-native observability platform built specifically for logs, metrics, traces, analytics, RUM (Real User Monitoring - Performance, Errors, Session Replay) designed to work at petabyte scale.

---

Notes: Looks like a nice, lightweight logging solution built in rust.

I was able to get a working package going pretty easily (subject to more testing).

OpenObserve serves as a seamless replacement for Elasticsearch for users who ingest data using APIs and perform searches. OpenObserve comes with its own user interface, eliminating the need for separate installation.

You can reduce your log storage costs by ~140x compared to Elasticsearch by using OpenObserve. Below, we present the results from pushing logs from our production Kubernetes cluster to both Elasticsearch and OpenObserve using Fluent Bit.

@andreasdueren Wow, that would make me feel really clever (goes to buy 10 more monitors for the sys admin flight deck )

@marcusquinn I would build a new room with floor to ceiling monitors on one wall. Reclining theatre seating and a kegerator. And a Hirsh keypad to prevent anyone except me from entering:)

@crazybrad Ahah, the stuff of movies
