Chronosphere this week added an upgraded logging product to its observability platform to help enterprises gain greater control over their observability data and the costs associated with managing the volumes of data.
Chronosphere Logs 2.0 lets enterprises correlate logs with metrics, events, and traces and offers analytics and recommendations to resolve issues faster, the company says.
“Our analysis of how they use the logs is way more sophisticated than anything else out there. We can distill that down and help people see that breakdown, as well,” says Alok Bhide, head of product innovation at Chronosphere. “With that, they can make their own determination of how they want to deal with the logs.”
According to a study by Chronosphere, enterprise log data is growing at 250% year-over-year, and Chronosphere Logs helps engineers and observability teams to resolve incidents faster while controlling costs. The usage and volume analysis and proactive recommendations can help reduce data before it’s stored, the company says.
“Organizations are drowning in telemetry data, with over 70% of observability spend going toward storing logs that are never queried,” said Paul Nashawaty, principal analyst at the CUBE Research, in a statement. “Legacy and siloed tools force teams to choose between cost, visibility, and speed—but Chronosphere’s new Usage Analysis feature enhances visibility by showing exactly what log data is used, offering proactive recommendations to reduce or transform the rest. Combined with MELT (metrics, events, logs, traces) in a single platform and high-performance querying at scale, Chronosphere empowers teams to cut waste, streamline operations, and accelerate root-cause analysis without sacrificing coverage.”
Chronosphere says this product will help reduce the noise of log data with a new feature called Usage Analysis, which can detail what data is actually used and converting logs into metrics. With this knowledge, enterprises can retain the value from the log data, lower their costs, and accelerate root-cause analysis. This feature offers enterprises:
- Control over log data volume, enabling teams to keep what’s valuable and discard what’s not.
- High-performance querying at scale, which is designed to ingest and process petabytes of data daily.
- Unified observability across MELT, provided in a single interface.
“Since day one, we’ve been focused on putting customers in control of their observability data,” Bhide says. “With Chronosphere Logs, we’re extending that same control and efficiency we’ve delivered for metrics and tracing to logging, helping customers cut data overload, manage cost at scale, and unify observability workflows.”
Chronosphere delivers its observability platform and applications as a SaaS platform, and the company says its products work best for cloud-based SaaS companies looking to optimize their telemetry management. The platform features data collection through collectors as well as a telemetry pipeline. Chronosphere integrates with existing environments, enabling engineers and observability teams to quickly implement control features for logs, metrics, and traces. Enterprises can adopt individual components such as the logging control features or the full observability platform.
Chronosphere Logs 2.0 is generally available now.
