What is it?

Key features

• 01Stores logs, metrics, traces and events as columnar Parquet on object storage.
• 02Includes alerting, dashboards, anomaly detection and APM in a single binary.
• 03Supports PromQL and SQL querying.
• 04Accepts data via OpenTelemetry, Kafka, eBPF and common logging agents.
• 05Separates stateless compute from object storage so each scales independently.

Use cases

• Centralizing application and infrastructure logs in a self-hosted observability stack.
• Replacing a multi-tool monitoring setup with one platform backed by S3.
• Monitoring AI agents and analyzing telemetry with LLMs.
• Using an existing OpenTelemetry Collector pipeline with a new backend.

Quick start

1. 1

   Run the official install script from the README

2. 2

   Send sample logs to the demo stream with the ingest command

   curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8000/api/v1/ingest' \ --header 'X-P-Stream: demo' \ --header 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '[ { "id": "434a5f5e-2f5f-11ed-a261-0242ac120002", "datetime": "24/Jun/2022:14:12:15 +0000", "host": "153.10.110.81" } ]'
3. 3

   Open http://localhost:8000 and log in with admin / admin

Things to know

• !Licensed under AGPL-3.0, a copyleft license that requires sharing source for modified versions.
• !The quickstart uses default admin credentials, so production setups need the hardening steps in the installation guide.

FAQ

What is parseable?

Open source observability platform in Rust that stores logs, metrics, traces and events on object storage in a single binary. Parseable is an observability platform built on a data lake architecture. It ingests logs, metrics, traces and events from applications, agents and systems, and stores them in columnar Parquet format on object storage such as S3. Compute is stateless, so storage and processing can scale independently.

Is parseable free to use? What license does it have?

parseable is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. Check the license terms before using it in commercial products.

Is parseable still maintained?

Actively maintained. The last commit to parseable was on Oct 23, 2026.

What can I use parseable for?

Centralizing application and infrastructure logs in a self-hosted observability stack. Replacing a multi-tool monitoring setup with one platform backed by S3. Monitoring AI agents and analyzing telemetry with LLMs. Using an existing OpenTelemetry Collector pipeline with a new backend.
