VictoriaLogs Practical Ingestion Guide for Message, Time and Streams

I’m actually working on something right now where this can be extremely useful to me and I didn’t know about VictoriaLogs was using Loki. I wonder if anyone knows if there are other better alternatives or how this stacks up?
yla92•5mo ago
> VictoriaLogs was using Loki

Someone can correct me if I am wrong here - I don't think it's the case tho. Especially, it's competing against Loki and Elastic

dan-robertson•5mo ago
I think the GP intended to put some punctuation between ‘victorialogs’ and ‘was’
dengolius•5mo ago
> VictoriaLogs was using Loki

Where was this mentioned?

nklmilojevic•5mo ago
Amazing product. We use VictoriaMetrics for quite a while, and previously used Loki and our custom Clickhouse/Vector approach for logs and we have switched to VictoriaLogs. It is much better and faster than Loki, same goes with custom CH/Vector thing we had. Kudos to the team, we are waiting for VictoriaTraces to switch Tempo instance to it for opentelemetry stuff.
CubsFan1060•5mo ago
Can you talk a little bit about your Victoria Logs setup? About how many logs are you ingesting and what kind of sizing do you have on your setup?
PaywallBuster•5mo ago
personally Hetzner SX295 that has 14x 22 TB on a ZFS setup

It ingests 70k lines per second without a sweat

reads are just as fast

nklmilojevic•5mo ago
Sure thing!

Ingested logs 24h: 428 Mil Ingested bytes 24h: 625GB Inser req/s: 6k/s

8vCPU, 16GB mem. Running standard-rwo PVC on GCP.

We have a couple of projects like this with similar usage and similar machine sizing.

Still running vmlogs-single, and we will until we see a need to move to vmlogs-cluster version.

camel_gopher•5mo ago
That sounds like a lot of resources provisioned for 6k/s. 625GB/24hr is a small footprint.
CubsFan1060•5mo ago
I would have said it sounded pretty good. What technologies are you comparing it against, out of curiosity.
camel_gopher•5mo ago
ClickHouse
CubsFan1060•5mo ago
Can you share any additional details? What kind of ingestion do you have, with what dimensions of a clickhouse cluster?

I'm also curious how it handles structured vs unstructured logs.

Thanks!

CubsFan1060•5mo ago
That seems pretty good. Do you have any sort of HA solution?
pphysch•5mo ago
We recently dropped-in VictoriaLogs for an old rsyslog setup. Extremely easy to deploy and admin, integrates nicely with Grafana. Definitely recommend doing this and moving to structured logging formats if you aren't already / are hesitant about the complexity of Elastic stack, etc.
chupasaurus•5mo ago
There is no complexity in Elastic stack, only expensive footguns /s
paffdragon•5mo ago
I use it in docker on a NAS - VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, Grafana - low resource usage, fast, so far zero issues.
UncleFullstack•5mo ago
Victoria logs is awesome and has put me at odds with my new devops hire who hates it and insists that Dynatrace can do the same thing for only $$$ a month. I tried using the their front end and it’s horrible. The API for Victoria is awesome and it’s fast.
