This article explores the growing limitations of the ELK stack in modern log storage scenarios and introduces GreptimeDB as a next-generation log database with advantages in both architecture and user experience. By combining Vector with GreptimeDB, we demonstrate a complete pipeline—from log collection and storage to parsing and querying.

Observability 2.0 centers around “wide events,” breaking down the silos between metrics, logs, and traces. This article outlines the core ideas and technical challenges of this new paradigm, and introduces how GreptimeDB, a native open-source database for wide events, provides a unified and efficient foundation for next-gen observability platforms.

Open-source, cloud-native, unified observability database for metrics, logs and traces, supporting SQL/PromQL/Streaming. - GreptimeTeam/greptimedb
