lots of snide comments about how expensive splunk is, can anyone provide illustrative numbers vs alternatives, for the uninitiated?

  Splunk was obscenely expensive when we got a quote a number of years ago. I was expecting very high but if I recall correctly, it was an order of magnitude greater than that. Unfortunately, Graylog seems to be taking their post-OSS playbook from Splunk as well. Also interested in non-insane competition.

  Take a number that you would describe as "holy fucking shit". Add a 0 to that.

  You can buy a splunk license, or you can hire an engineer dedicated to administrating opensearch, but you're paying either way.

  For a long time, $1000/GB at ingest time per day was their thing but they've since gotten more flexible but their pricing is still in the millions for terabytes while the competition charges the same for petabytes.
