LogZilla FAQ
Answers to common questions about pricing, deployment, requirements, and more.
- Pricing aligns to deployment choice (Cloud, Self‑Hosted, Appliance) and required ingest capacity. There are no per‑search penalties. See Cloud and Download for current offers.
- Customers commonly reduce Splunk or similar SIEM ingestion by 60–80% using dedup‑at‑ingest and filtering, lowering license and storage bills. Model savings on the Download page.
- Yes. Use the Savings Calculator on the Download page and model by retention and daily volume. Retention targets are configurable.
- Yes. Start instantly with LogZilla Cloud or pull the self‑hosted image to evaluate on your data.
- Most teams see impact within days as noise falls, storage drops, and SIEM bills shrink. Case studies highlight quick wins.
- Archives remain searchable without rehydration fees. Retention is policy‑ driven to meet business and compliance needs.
- Choose Cloud, Self‑Hosted, or pre‑configured Appliances based on data locality, compliance, and operational preference.
- Minutes. Cloud is instant; Self‑Hosted is a single command; Appliances arrive pre‑configured.
- A single modern server can handle very high volumes. Appliance tiers are a good reference for sizing.
- Yes. Customers run at multi‑million EPS in Kubernetes environments.
- Yes. Offline install and upgrade workflows are supported for restricted environments.
- LogZilla removes duplicates before storage/indexing; Splunk dedupes at query time. Ingest‑time dedup cuts storage and license costs upstream.
- No. Dedup tracks occurrence counts and preserves metadata needed for audits and forensics.
- It depends on source noise, but 50–80% reduction is common across network, security, and EDR telemetry.
- Yes. Policies support per‑source, per‑pattern windows and selective filtering.
- It improves them by eliminating redundant noise while keeping counts and timestamps for accurate trends.
- Very large. Customers process multi‑TB/day on a single server or scale out on Kubernetes when desired.
- Archives remain directly searchable—no costly rehydration—so historical queries remain quick.
- Ingest‑time dedup and pipeline bursting keep systems stable and prevent runaway storage or alert floods.
- Yes. Role‑based access controls and scoping keep tenant and team data separate.
- Yes. Forward normalized, deduplicated streams to Splunk, QRadar, or other tools to cut their ingest cost.
- App Store packs include parsers, dashboards, and automations for common platforms.
- Yes. Create incidents, auto‑assign, and close via automation triggers.
- Yes. Triggers can call scripts, webhooks, or workflows for corrective actions.
- Yes, with Lua rules and rewrite policies for precise data shaping.
- TLS in transit and encrypted storage are supported. Certificates and keys are customer‑controlled.
- Yes. Access controls, auditing, retention, and integrity features help meet PCI and HIPAA obligations.
- Policies pin data for extended retention with direct search, avoiding rehydration.
- Yes. Choose Cloud multi‑tenant, private deployments, or self‑hosted per policy.
- Yes. Many customers keep Splunk dashboards while cutting ingest volume via LogZilla preprocessing.
- Lower TCO, simpler scale, searchable archives without rehydration, and ingest‑time dedup.
- Start by forwarding the same sources to LogZilla. Use built‑in parsers and transforms, then phase out costly pipelines.
- Not necessarily. Many keep existing SIEM visuals while sending a smaller stream.
- ELK is powerful but costly at scale. LogZilla’s ingest‑time dedup, simple ops, and searchable archives reduce TCO.
- LogZilla is an intelligent log management and event orchestration platform that deduplicates noise at ingest to cut SIEM costs, speeds up troubleshooting, and simplifies operations. Deploy in Cloud, Self‑Hosted, or as a turn‑key appliance.
- An AI assistant for search, patterns, and faster root‑cause analysis embedded in the platform.
- Yes. Fully configured hardware with validated performance for easy deployment.
- Docs and LogZilla University offer short videos and hands‑on guides.
