Gravwell is a log analysis and monitoring platform built on the principle that you need to be able to ask any question of your data and get answers quickly.
To achieve this goal the platform has been built around four pillars - Scalability, Ingestion of any data source, Easy search, and predictable pricing.
Scalability:
Gravwell is built by supercomputing experts which means scalability and efficiency are where we shine. We easily scale to over 100TB of data ingest per day and have delivered a comparable performance to our competitors with 40% fewer indexers and dramatically less ancillary infrastructure.
Ingest any data source:
To ask questions of your data you need to ingest it in its raw form; that is why Gravwell is structure on read and will take binary data like netflow, ipfix, and packets natively. Our hybrid indexing system ensures that no matter the data source, you can find needles in the haystack quickly and intuitively.
Predictable pricing:
If you are ingesting all of your data then you need to know what it is going to cost you. At Gravwell we only charge by the number of indexers in the cluster and don't penalize customers for unexpected data bursts or data sources with less value.
Easy search:
Learning the query language is quick and easy. At Gravwell we have a structured query language with query writing hints and error identification if something doesn't look quite right.
Users who are familiar with Powershell, Linux command line, or SPL are up and running quickly and can become experts in days not months.
