Hi Guys, We are evaluating to see if ElasticSearch would be a good fit for a Time-Series based analytics systems, i.e. storing millions of events with different attributes and being able to generate trends based on the time, event type and the optional attributes and draw pretty graphs. More concretely, each event will have a timestamp, event type and a map of key/value attributes. Then a user can ask to see a chart of what was the hourly counts for Event Type A with attributes X and Y during past week. Is anyone doing something similar to this on this list?

That's sort of what Kibana/logstash does, which is backed by Elasticsearch: [http://kibana.org/about.html](http://kibana.org/about.html) so plotting the hourly counts etc based on queries etc is eminently doable. cheers, Paul On 14 February 2013 16:03, Drew Kutcharian [drew@venarc.com](mailto:drew@venarc.com) wrote: > Hi Guys, > > We are evaluating to see if Elasticsearch would be a good fit for a > Time-Series based analytics systems, i.e. storing millions of events with > different attributes and being able to generate trends based on the time, > event type and the optional attributes and draw pretty graphs. > > More concretely, each event will have a timestamp, event type and a map of > key/value attributes.

Good point, I completely forgot about that. Thanks Paul.
