All use cases

Short-lived workloads, durable evidence

Troubleshoot Kubernetes and application failures

Follow errors across pods, services and hosts from a shared timeline—even after the workload that produced them is gone.

Discuss this use case

Ephemeral infrastructure produces ephemeral answers

A deployment fails intermittently. The pod is replaced, the local log disappears, and the investigation restarts with incomplete context.

  • Restarted pods remove local evidence.
  • Service names and fields differ across teams.
  • Live tail shows now, but not the lead-up to failure.
  • Developers and operators inspect different sources.

The UnifyLogs path

Move from spike to evidence

  1. 01

    See the change

    Use the log histogram to locate error and warning spikes.

  2. 02

    Narrow the timeline

    Filter by service, host, source, level or message.

  3. 03

    Ask the deeper question

    Switch to read-only SQL when the investigation needs grouping or correlation.

BUILD PLAN / KUBERNETES

Preserve the timeline after the pod disappears

Collect stdout and structured application events with stable Kubernetes metadata. Keep the raw event, then promote only the fields that make investigation faster.

DORIS DATA DESIGN
  • Partition on event_time and distribute by source or service.
  • Index service, level, trace_id and message when they are investigation keys.
  • Store evolving labels and attributes in VARIANT.
  • Materialize recurring service/error-rate rollups only after the query pattern is proven.
BUILD IT IN UNIFYLOGS
  • Start with the Application & Container log template.
  • Map cluster, namespace, workload, pod and container metadata in the collector.
  • Use Log Explorer for time range, field filters and message search.
  • Move to read-only SQL for correlations and grouped failure analysis.

  • 2Deployment window is easy to isolate
  • 3Service and trace filters agree
  • 4Concurrent incident searches stay responsive
