Scalyr, a provider of log management and observability, released a new set of data operations within Scalyr called PowerQueries.
Utilizing Scalyr’s real-time processing engine, PowerQueries lets users switch between facet-based search and complex log search operations for complicated data sets, such as grouping, transformations, filtering and sorting, table lookups and joins.
“We received a lot of valuable feedback and we have a healthy list of additional features planned. However, based on the rapid uptake and overwhelmingly positive response to the beta, we’ve decided to make PowerQueries available to all of our customers,” said Steve Newman, founder and chairman of Scalyr.
