About the Log Store
In App Metrics v2.1, Log Store provides a persistent storage layer for logs sent through Loggregator.
Log Store has the following features:
-
Multi tenant awareness: Log Store uses the auth proxy to ensure that app developers can only access their own logs.
-
Ubiquitous query language: Log Store uses a PromQL style label selector query for filtering logs.
-
Powerful storage engine: Log store uses the InfluxDB storage engine, which has built-in compression and a memory efficient series index. For more information about the InfluxDB storage engine, see InfluxDB documentation.
Log Store offers multinode deployments, data replication, and load balancing in a highly available configuration.
