What is Edge Delta?

Observability pipelines, logs, and metrics enabled by a next-generation architecture built to analyze petabytes on any budget.

Edge Delta is a new way to do observability. We process your data as it’s created and give you the freedom to route it anywhere. As a result, you can make observability costs predictable, surface the most useful insights, and shape your data however you need.

You can use Edge Delta for monitoring your workloads, querying large-scale log datasets, or creating observability pipelines.

Architecture

Edge Delta operates through a lightweight software agent installed directly within your computing infrastructure, including Kubernetes clusters, positioning it as near to the data sources as possible. This strategic deployment ensures immediate analysis and data optimization at the source. The Edge Delta agent is responsible for preprocessing data, which encompasses extracting insights, generating alerts, creating summarized datasets, and more. These refined outputs are then efficiently transmitted to a variety of endpoints, such as Edge Delta’s own analytical backend, third-party monitoring tools, or data storage systems.

Integral to this streamlined process are the Compactor and Rollup services, which enhance data handling and optimization. The Compactor service is key for compressing and encoding data like metrics and logs into a suitable format before they are sent to the Edge Delta backend, ensuring effective use of bandwidth and improved data processing. On the other hand, the Rollup service strategically reduces metric data volume by optimizing data point frequency and cardinality, which significantly minimizes storage requirements and can expedite data queries.

Features

Using the Edge Delta backend UI unlocks a series of features, including:

  • Kubernetes Overview to visualize the health and volume of data being generated by each of your Kubernetes resources.
  • Log Search to store and query any volume of data without going over budget.
  • Workloads to monitor the “golden signal” metrics and relevant log data across all workloads.
  • Patterns to cluster together repetitive loglines. This feature makes it easy to interpret each log message, understand how frequently it’s occurring, and whether it needs to be investigated further.

All of these features are delivered out-of-the-box, so you can hit the ground running and build a launchpad to complete observability.
