August 2019 Summaries

Open Distro for Elasticsearch is a complete Elastic Stack that CHAOSSEARCH has adopted as its primary focus, primarily due to its cost and simplicity in solving big data scale problems. This adoption allows CHAOSSEARCH to offer a search and analytic engine that integrates with popular tools such as virtualization and Kibana from Elastic, while also providing open enterprise features through the Open Distro for Elasticsearch community. By adopting this platform, CHAOSSEARCH aims to crack the code on scale, efficiency, and ease of use in data analytics, while also addressing issues found in scaling Elasticsearch and its associated cost and complexity. The company is now rolling out Alerting functionality from this version of Kibana to the general public, with additional components such as Monitoring, Triggers, and Webhook integration planned for future releases.

CHAOSSEARCH Data Refinery transforms data without reindexing traditional databases, allowing companies to quickly ingest and analyze vast amounts of log and event data from Amazon cloud services. The technology enables virtual transformations as different data views, creating new fields and adjusting schema on the fly, eliminating the need for expensive ETL processes or reindexing. This innovation empowers users to get immediate insights into their data without prior preparation, enabling efficient analysis of large datasets and improved data security through masking of identifiable customer data.

We are pleased to announce the addition of Single Sign-On (SSO) support for all CHAOSSEARCH platform users, allowing integration with existing identity providers and simplifying user access management. This feature is now available at no additional cost to customers, providing a more secure and streamlined experience. By integrating SSO, companies can centralize their user access to various 3rd party services, improving security and user experience. The move reflects the growing adoption of identity providers among small and mid-sized businesses, which are increasingly recognizing the importance of SSO for enhanced security and convenience.
