Order #48213 is 47 days old - outside the 30-day window the policy doc allows. Grader score 0.41 (threshold 0.80); the refund was promised without an exception approval.

Why OpenObserve

Four reasons teams switch to OpenObserve

Every claim is measured against a named product - not an industry average.

Keep a year of logs on 1/140th the storage and 1/30th the compute

Columnar Parquet storage, written in Rust on the DataFusion engine. There is no index to build, so there is nothing to pay for twice.

5 PB/day

ingested by a single customer

Proven at a scale most vendors quote as a roadmap item.

Storage cost, same telemetry, same year

140×lower storage cost

Every $140 you spend keeping logs in Elasticsearch buys the same year of retention here for $1.

Kubernetes

Full-stack visibility across every cluster

Deploy the collector with one command. Container logs, cluster events and metrics arrive together, plus zero-code traces for workloads already running.
