That could work for some people, but when you're ingesting 10+ GB / day (which is not difficult, even just from access logs) and need to keep them for several years, it quickly becomes infeasible.


Hmmm curious how much of a difference we're talking about between:

Logging in plain text - syslog

Logging to ELK(+indexes)

Logging to a DB like Postgres

Systemd's binary logs

This Grafana Loki

10+ GB/day is big to deal with as you say. But, I'm wondering it would be around the same regardless of your choice above..

With all of the choices though, we can always set staging rules and stage old data out to archives.

Personally, I'm struggling to find an equivalent search UI for Postgres.
