  3. kibana

    Your window into the Elastic Stack

  4. quickwit

    Cloud-native search engine for observability. An open-source alternative to Datadog, Elasticsearch, Loki, and Tempo.

    Can you clarify: Does the full-text search for logs linearly search all logs like Loki does, or can it speed it up with an index?

    The docs at https://www.hyperdx.io/docs/search don't seem to talk about this key design decision.

    I have a couple 100 GB to few TB logs (all from `journald` or JSON lines), just want to store them forever, and find results fast when searching for arbitrary substrings.

    Loki does not use an index, so it's pretty slow at finding results in TB-sized logs (does not return results within a few seconds, so it's not interactive).

    https://quickwit.io is one thing I'm looking at integrating, that can solve much of the index-based log search.

    (Note I'm not super familar with the capabilities of ClickHouse itself regarding indexed full-text search.)

  5. opentelemetry-collector-contrib

    Contrib repository for the OpenTelemetry Collector

    yes! the full stack includes our recommended schema which has the indexes set up - it's a drop in replacement for anything that would ingest Otel-based telemetry! If you already have Promtail setup - you might want to set up a collector or tweak the existing collector to take in Promtail via the Otel Loki Receiver: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-co...

    Overall it doesn't sound very hard to me!

  7. opentelemetry-sdk-workers

    An Otel SDK for Cloudflare Workers

    Neat! I was looking to replace DataDog with an open source alternative. I'm collecting the logs and batch sending them to DataDog using their batch http-intake API. I'm looking for the quickest way to switch over - is there anything similar on HyperDX?

    Also, I'd like to improve my observability using OTel in Cloudflare Workers but it looks like the example is out of date using an deprecated library which points to a new one to use instead. Might be worth updating the docs on that when you get a chance.

    Deprecated: https://github.com/RichiCoder1/opentelemetry-sdk-workers

  8. otel-cf-workers

    An OpenTelemetry compatible library for instrumenting and exporting traces for Cloudflare Workers

  10. opentelemetry-proto

    OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP) specification and Protobuf definitions

    Yup! Since we're built on Otel, we suggest you can use the HTTP OTLP endpoint, which is yourdomain:4318/v1/logs, we have a quick blog post on that on how to curl a payload over: https://www.hyperdx.io/blog/testing-sending-opentelemetry-ev...

    But you can also look at example payloads in the otel repo: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto/blob/m...

    Great call out on CF workers, will make sure we get that updated :)
