Design a Log Storage and Search System (Splunk clone)
A high-ingest log platform indexing unstructured text at scale for fast full-text and structured field search, with tiered hot/cold retention.
Open and Simulate this Architecture in InfraDraftCore Architectural Components
Log Ingestion & Parsing Agents
Ships raw log lines from every host/service into the pipeline.
Distributed Inverted Index
Enables fast full-text search across billions of log lines.
Field Extraction Pipeline
Parses structured fields out of semi-structured log text.
Hot/Warm/Cold Storage Tiering
Balances query speed against long-term storage cost.
Query Engine
Combines full-text search with structured field filters.
Alerting on Log Patterns
Fires on error-rate spikes or specific matched patterns.
Retention & Archival Policy Engine
Automatically ages data out of hot storage per compliance/cost rules.
