Through a partnership with Quesma, Hydrolix is introducing a way for organizations to use Kibana dashboards.
Hydrolix, the streaming data lake company disrupting the economics of big data, has partnered with Quesma, which specializes in building translation layers for database platforms to make database migrations easier. The integration of Quesma's technology with the Hydrolix platform enables ELK stack users to offload their log data to Hydrolix's cheaper and faster platform and keep using Kibana and Logstash/Beats. This can dramatically reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for ELK use cases that involve log data, including observability. Users of OpenSearch will also be able to use Quesma to connect their OpenSearch Dashboards to Hydrolix.
"Hydrolix is about eliminating the compromises teams have to make because of high data costs," said Marty Kagan, co-founder and CEO at Hydrolix. "Kibana users no longer need to throw away data because it is too expensive to retain it for more than a few days in Elastic."
"Quesma's goal is to provide people with freedom of choice of the best tool for the job," said Pawel Brzoska, co-founder and CPO at Quesma. "Our database gateway helps connect different technologies like Elastic stack's analytical capabilities and the speed and cost-effectiveness of Hydrolix."
Kibana Dashboards Now Available with Hydrolix
Hydrolix is a streaming data lake built for high volumes of log data. Each subsystem in Hydrolix is decoupled from the others, including storage, and this decoupled architecture allows Hydrolix to efficiently scale even for very large events (10 million log lines per second or more) while offering cost-effective S3-compatible storage.
Hydrolix is committed to offering compatibility with a wide variety of tools so that teams can use the tools that work best for them. Hydrolix is already compatible with many solutions, including Grafana, Superset and Splunk. Through its partnership with Quesma, Hydrolix has added Kibana to the list of analytics tools teams can use with the Hydrolix platform.
The Kibana functionality is available directly in Hydrolix; no migration from Elastic is necessary, and existing dashboards and queries are maintained. Quesma works as a bridge: it translates Elastic query language queries into SQL and also returns the results in a format that is compatible with both the Hydrolix platform and Kibana/OpenSearch.
Special Capabilities of Hydrolix with an ELK Stack
■ Hydrolix can replace Elastic for use cases that involve log data at terabyte scale and can complement an existing ELK stack.
■ Hydrolix can ingest data from both Logstash and Beats; just point existing agents and pipelines towards Hydrolix.
■ Hydrolix works with Elastic Common Schema (ECS), transforming logs in real time when they're ingested, providing tremendous flexibility in terms of mapping data.
■ Hydrolix enables ingestion of multiple log sources into a single table where logs can easily be compared.
