OpenObserve

What OpenObserve is

OpenObserve is a web-based product for handling and viewing logs, with pipelines, structured parsing, live tailing and archive export. Its feature set covers several stages of log work: processing logs through pipelines, parsing structured data, following a live stream and exporting archives. The product lists both deployment options, so users can consider either approach. The Free plan costs nothing, billed monthly, and specifies ingestion of 200 GB/day with 15 days of retention. Enterprise offers custom capacity and retention plus commercial support, with pricing on request. OpenObserve separately lists log retention and data retention as 30 days, while the Free plan gives its own 15-day retention figure. Its listed platform is web. The product was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in Menlo Park, California, United States. The plan details distinguish a stated daily ingestion allowance for Free from custom capacity and retention for Enterprise.
