Hmm, this is not the "Kibana" alternative I imagined.

Kibana was supposed to be an easy UI. You go to Discover, and the data automatically shows in chronological order, I can explore it with different options.

Kibana is very suitable for non-tech or less-tech people. I hope your product find a clear target audience. With too much ES query JSON or SQL it would scare people off.

Hrm while we aren't a 1:1 Kibana replacement today (we're not apples to apples since Kibana is locked into Elastic, whereas we're on Clickhouse) - I don't think we're too far off with our UI-based filters, Lucene filter language, and timestamp filtering/sorting/live tail.

There is a setup modal (which is intended to be set up once by the data owner, similar to maybe how you'd set up some indexes in Elastic) - and afterwards the experience is similar IMO. If you're open to sharing more I'd love to learn more mike@hyperdx.io or if you want to open an issue/join our discord.
