Graylog looks like a good competitor. Certainly won't scale as well, but I've had good experience with it.

The thing that will totally replace splunk (and elastic and snowflake and likely several other whole ecosystems) is some random thing pouring data into clickhouse.

I am nervous about how clickhouse is going to monetize, whenever they decide to turn on the revenue spigot.

I hate to shill in this thread, but that's exactly what we built at runreveal, so I completely agree! We saw the power of clickhouse when we were at segment and cloudflare, so built a company around it.

And since clickhouse is open source, we hope that people will stop giving their security data to vendors who then charge you rent for it. I think the future is writing this data to clickhouse, but also our customer's clickhouses

I used to love Graylog, but I was evaluated it for use with AWS and a) it's AWS bits seem limited and b) I found a bunch of deadlinks from their github to their site. If they can't keep their docs updated, it doesn't give me warm fuzzies about their product.
