Reading the web site, I just noticed the open-source version does not have "Log query endpoints".

Does that mean you have to use SQL (or the visual SQL builder) to query logs, and you don't get access to a log query language the way Kibana gives you KQL and Lucene syntax?

If so, I think it's a little disingenuous to write an article comparing the ELK stack, which is open source and comes with a perfectly usable query UI, to Greptime's equivalent, which is not.

In fact, we have an open-source query language, but it's still in experimental, so we don't present it on the website. The description of the enterprise feature is not precise. Sorry for the inconvenience.

GreptimeDB also open-sources the log view UI if you read the article.

I agree with you that ETL is so powerful, and GreptimeDB is so young, we still have lots of work to do. Thank you.

Thanks, sounds interesting. It's actually not at all clear from the article that the UI, as presented, is open source. I'm looking for an ELK replacement (in an enterprise setting), so it sounds like Greptime is something I might be able to use.

Thanks for your feedback. We fixed the descriptions of log query endpoints. Hope it's more clear. Glad you're considering giving it a try and looking forward to your feedback.
