    ChaosSearch specializes in data analytics and indexing solutions for large-scale cloud object storage environments. The company is innovating in data indexing and search, making it easier to access and analyze vast amounts of application telemetry data efficiently.

    52 ChaosSearch alternatives
    In this example, the search field was left empty to return all records in this very small data set like this example, which is a small orders table based on TPC-H data. ChaosSearch is designed to index data at scale including complex application logs, which means that an unbounded search for a longer time range could return billions of records. A free text search with no terms, or very common terms, could take a long time to return a set of results that could be too large to review easily.

    Some users might have pre-built dashboards or visualizations that offer graphical or tabular representations of data analysis for their log and event files, built by ChaosSearch Customer Success or customer data analysts. Click the Visualize or the Dashboard options in the left menu to see if there are pre-built visualizations that you can use for your data. The following image is a sample visualization of the orders data showing a trend of orders by priority. Visualizations offer another representation that turn your search queries into graphical or tabular displays that can be quickly reviewed to show important information in your indexed data.

    iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. Handy for answering the question "why is our ADSL link so slow?".
