per data point (starts at $0.30 per 1,000 data points) • DeskMetrics - desktop-app specific, but expensive (starts at $499p/m!) • Loggly - log-specific, low retention (7-15 days) • Keen.io - generic event logging, high cost per data point (starts at $0.40 per 1,000 data points)
• Put it in front a service. • HMAC payloads for more security. • Monitor via NewRelic or something similar • Batch up metrics and index using _bulk • Duplicate common event attributes (environment) in the service
sure compression is on; Metric data compresses fairly well • Consider storing server timestamp as well as client reported timestamps if time accuracy is important • Set up the mapping accordingly (you probably don’t want stemming or tokenization)
