It's an open-source (AGPLv3), purpose-built log analytics UI specifically for ClickHouse. I've been using ClickHouse for logs and love its power, but found the existing UIs either too heavy, too focused on ingestion (which we already have covered with tools like Vector/Promtail/Fluentbit/Logstash etc), or not ClickHouse-native enough.
Logchef aims to be a lightweight, powerful log explorer that sits on top of your existing ClickHouse setup.
Key things:
- Schema-agnostic: Works with your existing ClickHouse log tables. No need to change how you store things.
- Dual Query Modes: Simple search syntax (e.g., level=error service=api) for quick looks, and full SQL for complex analysis when you need to dig deep.
- Lightweight & Focused: Single binary, easy to deploy. It doesn't do ingestion, letting you use best-of-breed tools for that.
- Team-centric: Built with multi-tenancy for teams and access controls for different log sources from the get-go.
I've got a demo running at https://demo.logchef.app if you'd like to try it out. It's still evolving, so feedback (especially from other ClickHouse users) would be super valuable!
