New product in beta
To capitalize on that speed, Scalyr has recently unveiled two additional features designed to let users create advanced search capabilities. One is PowerQueries, launched in beta earlier this year.

Users can perform complex actions to group, sort and filter large amounts of information, combining real time use of data with ease-of-use and scalability.

“PowerQueries provide new insights into data with a powerful and expressive query language that’s still easy to use,” Mathis said. “The vision for Scalyr is to become the platform users trust when they want to observe their systems. PowerQueries is a really important step along that journey.”

The other enhancement, announced in November, involved an update to the Scalyr platform that allowed users to monitor issues in Kubernetes and Amazon Web Services CloudWatch. The added Kubernetes features enabled DevOps personnel to visualize logs at the cluster level.

Scalyr’s founder walks the halls of his company wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan “Love Log and Prosper,” a play on the signature phrase coined in the 1960s by the megahit TV series “Star Trek.” One of its central characters — Mr. Spock — played a Vulcan and would deliver the line “Live long and prosper” while forming a “v” salute with his fingers.

Like the “Star Trek” spaceship, Scalyr is seeking to enable log management to move at warp speed in keeping with the pace of IT demands across the enterprise.

“Whatever business you’re in, it has a digital element and your competitors are building sophisticated systems, adding functionality, and moving quickly. You need to be able to do the same thing,” Newman concluded.
