Comment on Show HN: We built a ClickHouse-based logging service

Comments

This is not logging. It's web session telemetry.

As a non-web developer I was also confused about the generic terms like "monitoring" etc. and had to scroll a bit before I realized it's just for web stuff.

That's good feedback. Thanks. What would you prefer we write? Just mentioned "Web" somewhere in the headline?

Would be better to use OpenTelemetry vocabulary. This seems to be RUM product - https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/issues/169

Why isn't it logging? You can send us raw logs if you like as well: https://www.highlight.io/docs/getting-started/backend-loggin...

Because in the industry "logging" has been used to refer to syslog and similar formats for many decades.

The new feature we're announcing is the server-side + browser-side logs ingest, query interface, and alerting engine. Our web session recording product is something we've had around but now closely integrates with logs to help you debug.
