Parseable is an open source, column oriented, data lake platform, purpose built for observability. It provides SQL & PromQL queries and major observability features like agent observability, alerting, dashboards, anomaly detection, APM - all within a single binary.

Observability data volumes have outgrown traditional systems. Time series databases are reeling under the weight of high-cardinality telemetry, while deluge of logs and traces have rendered traditional search engines hard to use for observability. The core architectural and technical assumptions of these systems are no longer valid.

Parseable is built for this new reality. Logs, metrics, and traces each have distinct shapes, cardinality, and access patterns; Parseable handles each on its own terms rather than forcing them into one model. Underneath, a single data lake foundation stores every signal as open, columnar Parquet on object storage, keeping durable storage cleanly separated from elastic query compute.

Teams use Parseable to unify telemetry data from across their infrastructure, applications and agents. Whether you're just starting to build observability or hitting the limits of your current TSDB or search engines, Parseable gives you an open foundation, that scales with you.

Get started

Download and run the Parseable binary on your laptop:

curl -fsSL https://logg.ing/install | bash

powershell -c "irm https://logg.ing/install-windows | iex"

Once you have Parseable running, send an event with the command below. This will send logs to the demo stream. You can see the logs in the dashboard.

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8000/api/v1/ingest' \
--header 'X-P-Stream: demo' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '[
    {
        "id": "434a5f5e-2f5f-11ed-a261-0242ac120002",
        "datetime": "24/Jun/2022:14:12:15 +0000",
        "host": "153.10.110.81"
    }
]'

Open the console at http://localhost:8000 and sign in with admin / admin. For other install options and a full walkthrough, see the Quickstart.
