Thanks!

That sounds great! Do you have a link? I'd love to check it out.

For me, the most challenging parts are still ahead - live tailing and a plugin system to support different storage backends beyond just ClickHouse. Those will be interesting problems to solve! What was the biggest challenge for you?

Telescope is focused purely on viewing logs for existing data. It doesn’t enforce any specific ingestion setup or schema and doesn’t support traces or session storage.

You can think of it as just one part of a logging platform, where a full platform might consist of multiple components like a UI, ingestion engine, logging agent, and storage. In this setup, Telescope is only the UI.

Well, if you're happy with ELK, you should definitely use it! As I mentioned earlier, I’m not trying to sell anything or convince people to switch from their current solutions - just offering an alternative perspective on how things can be done.

From my perspective, a ClickHouse-based setup can be cheaper and possibly faster in certain conditions – here’s some comparison made by ClickHouse Inc. - https://clickhouse.com/blog/clickhouse_vs_elasticsearch_the_...

My motto is "Know your data". I’m not a big fan of schemaless setups - I believe in designing a proper database schema rather than just pushing data into a black hole and hoping the system will handle it.

Nice idea! However, I’m not experienced enough with Vue (and frontend) development to properly design an exportable component. So, at least for now, I don’t think I’ll be able to make it happen myself.

Despite the fact that Telescope is focused on application log data, it could be used for any type of data as long as it's stored in ClickHouse and has some time fields.

At the moment, I have no plans to support arbitrary data visualization in Telescope, as I believe there are better BI-like tools for that scenario.

Thanks!

I haven't tested the new JSON format in ClickHouse yet, but even if something doesn't work at the moment, fixing it should be trivial.

As for the video service, it wasn’t actually a service but rather a set of local tools:

- Video capture/screenshots - macOS default tools

- Screenshot editing - GIMP

- Voice generation - https://elevenlabs.io/app/speech-synthesis/text-to-speech

- Montage – DaVinci Resolve 19

Telescope is primarily focused on log visualization, not on log collection or preparing ClickHouse for storage. The system does not currently provide (and I think will not ever) built-in mechanisms for ingesting logs from any sources.

I will consider providing a how-to guide on setting up log storage in ClickHouse, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to cover all possible scenarios. This is a highly specific topic that depends on the infrastructure and needs of each organization.

If you’re looking for a all-in-one solution that can*both collect and visualize logs, you might want to check out https://www.highlight.io or https://signoz.io or other similar projects.

And also, by the way, I’m not trying to create a "Grafana Loki killer" or a "killer" of any other tool. This is just an open source project - I simply want to build a great log viewer without worrying about how to attract users from Grafana Loki or Elastic or any other tool/product.

Well, every single name I came up with was already taken and present in GitHub. So...
