VictoriaLogs Practical Ingestion Guide for Message, Time and Streams


VictoriaLogs uses three core concepts: message, time, and stream fields to structure log data. Too few streams create fat streams that are slow to query, while too many unique stream combinations create high cardinality problems…

To conclude, the sweet spot lies between those two extremes: choose identifiers that remain constant for the lifetime of a single producer instance, yet are coarse enough to prevent the stream increase rate from becoming too unpredictable. It doesn’t throw any error, but this can lead to less efficient storage, slower queries, and missed opportunities for organizing your logs in a way that matches your applications’ logical structure. We’re VictoriaMetrics, a team providing open-source, highly scalable and cost-efficient solutions for monitoring, logging, and tracing, trusted by users worldwide to reduce their observability costs.
