From raw logs to real answers

Logs tell you what happened. Elastic helps you understand why.

More data, more problems? Not anymore.

Most logging solutions weren't built for today's scale. Elastic is. Our architecture is designed to handle petabytes of logs with indexing, compression, and efficient data tiering — along with AI-driven analysis — so you have all the telemetry you need, without breaking the bank.

  • LOG PARSING AND STRUCTURING

    Tame the logstream

    Turn chaotic log lines into clean, structured fields using standardized OpenTelemetry (OTel) semantic conventions — making it easier to filter, search, and connect the dots at scale. Schema on read, or write.

  • ADVANCED ANALYTICS

    One query to rule them all

    Filter, transform, join, correlate, and aggregate logs. ES|QL's piped syntax puts complex data wrangling at your fingertips. Faster queries. Precise answers. Less noise.

  • ZERO-CONFIG AIOPS

    Cut through the noise

    Elastic machine learning automatically detects anomalies, categorizes logs, surfaces patterns, and highlights log rate spikes — no setup required.

  • AI ASSISTANT

    Bolster team expertise

    Elastic AI Assistant interprets log messages, investigates anomalies, and pulls answers from your organizational knowledgebases using retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Get root cause, remediation steps, and even the right runbook.

  • LOGS OPTIMIZATION WITH LOGSDB

    Stretch your storage, not your costs

    Use Elasticsearch logsdb index mode for high-volume logging. Get smarter index sorting and denser compression — up to 70% smaller footprint without sacrificing speed. Store more and scale without the sprawl.

  • COST-EFFICIENT DATA TIERING

    Frozen, but never forgotten

    Move logs automatically across storage tiers — without losing searchability. Keep performance high where you need it and cost low where you don't. Snapshots stay searchable, so historical data never goes dark.

Billions of logs, one clear picture

Elastic ingests logs from anywhere and automatically groups them into patterns, highlights anomalies, and pinpoints spikes — so you get answers, not overload.

  • Hundreds of out-of-the-box integrations

    No matter the source or format, Elastic offers 400+ integrations to ingest logs and metrics from cloud services, CI/CD pipelines, databases, Kubernetes, and more.

  • Automatic ingest

    Elastic's AI-driven auto-import generates custom ingest pipelines for unstructured data. It maps raw data to ECS fields, enriches context, and categorizes events — cutting ingest time from days to minutes for bespoke use cases.

  • Standardized on OpenTelemetry

    Since Elastic donated Elastic Common Schema (ECS) to OTel Semantic Conventions, all logs are automatically normalized to the OTel schema, so you get rich out-of-the-box dashboards, consistent log fields, and trace-log-metric correlation.
