About VictoriaLogs
VictoriaLogs is a fast and cost-effective log management solution designed for large-scale log ingestion, storage, and search. Developed by VictoriaMetrics, it's built to handle massive volumes of log data with efficient compression and high-performance search capabilities. VictoriaLogs supports LogQL (similar to Grafana Loki) and provides excellent integration with the VictoriaMetrics ecosystem. It's designed for high-performance log aggregation with minimal resource consumption, making it suitable for both small deployments and large-scale enterprise environments.
