Fair enough, we never used CloudWatch at my previous company, where we did use AWS for most infra, but didn’t use CloudWatch, so don’t have much experience. But we do use Cloud ops suite (a.k.a. Stackdriver) at my current co, and man, I miss the more standalone observability tools we used at my previous co - Sumo, Prometheus/Grafana, Sentry and New Relic. They’re sooooooo far ahead it’s not even funny.

I'm gonna use your disasfaction of your log management tool for a little self-promotion. I'm working as part of the Wrble.com team its a fast logging platform that is priced way lower than hosting your open source stack. We are based on Lucene technology. I believe we provide the same service that existing players do for an 80% reduction in spending. Give it a shot let me know what you think.

Looks interesting, but can you only do very structured queries of JSON logs? We like to be able to do full text search on the whole log, i.e. find every log with a specific UUID in it, regardless of where in the log the UUID is.

Also, looks like no log aggregation? i.e. no SQL style queries on logs, that you can do in products like Sumo Logic.

GREAT pricing, but my first impression is that it’s lacking some key features we’re looking for. Seems like you guys are going for the low priced, bare bones solution, and it’s literally orders of magnitudes cheaper than a really feature rich solution like Sumo, but I think it’s too stripped down for us.
