Summary

AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) Log Analysis on S3 is a critical aspect of maintaining high-performance load balancing and application delivery for services. Traditional approaches like provisioning an ELK Stack or leveraging AWS Athena can be costly and complex, especially as data volumes grow. CHAOSSEARCH offers a more efficient solution by indexing raw ELB log data directly in the S3 bucket, eliminating the need to move data out of the bucket or configure data visualization with Athena. This platform provides auto-regex parsing for semi-structured log datasets, automatic schema creation and mapping, and real-time data indexing capabilities. With CHAOSSEARCH, users can navigate to a fully integrated Kibana interface, visualize data, and gain deep insights into their ELB logs without the complexity and expense of an Elasticsearch cluster. The platform also offers unlimited retention of log data, enabling users to ask larger and broader questions across months and years.
