What is ChaosSearch?

ChaosSearch provides a platform designed to perform analytics directly on data stored within cloud object storage environments like Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage. It enables organizations to consolidate various data streams into a unified live data lake, eliminating the need for complex data movement or transformation pipelines. The platform automatically detects data formats and maintains live schemas as data is streamed, making it immediately available for analysis.

By leveraging cloud storage directly, ChaosSearch simplifies data architecture and significantly reduces the costs associated with traditional log analytics and SIEM solutions, often achieving 50-80% savings. It offers multi-modal analytics capabilities, including Live Search compatible with Elasticsearch/OpenSearch tools, SQL queries, and GenAI assisted analytics. This allows teams to gain actionable intelligence from vast amounts of historical data for operational monitoring, security analysis, user insights, and business intelligence use cases without imposing retention limits.
