Summary

ChaosSearch is designed to be compliant with the Elasticsearch/OpenSearch API, making it a suitable data source for Grafana. To use ChaosSearch in Grafana, customers can follow simple steps to configure their data source, including setting URL, access, sigV4 auth details, and Elasticsearch details. Once configured, users can explore log data using Lucene query syntax, create dashboards with the Logs visualization, and customize settings to suit their needs. This allows for a best-of-breed observability architecture where tools are chosen based on specific use cases, resulting in lower costs, increased agility, and more flexibility for DevOps teams and SREs.
