OpenObserve Documentation

Official docs for OpenObserve — a cloud-native observability platform (logs, metrics, traces, RUM) built in Rust.

Key Concepts

• Streams: Log, metric, and trace data streams with configurable schema, retention, and indexing
• Pipelines: Real-time and scheduled data transformation pipelines
• Functions: VRL (Vector Remap Language) and Lua functions for data enrichment
• Alerts: Condition-based alerts with multi-window selectors and various destinations
• Dashboards: Panels with SQL/PromQL queries, variables, custom charts (ECharts)
