Sources and Sinks
Grepr supports a wide range of data sources and sinks, with new integrations continually being added. For a complete list of supported platforms, see our support matrix.
It's important to understand that an integration simply provides connection details for a particular service. The actual data movement happens through Grepr jobs, which use these integrations as sources (data inputs) or sinks (data outputs). Sources and sinks function as specific operators within a Grepr job's processing pipeline.
Integration Categories
Grepr integrations fall into two primary categories:
-
External Platform Integrations: These connect Grepr with the observability platforms that produce or consume your data. Examples include Datadog, Splunk, New Relic, and OpenTelemetry. These integrations enable bidirectional data flow between Grepr and your existing observability tools.
-
Storage Integrations: These manage where Grepr stores your raw data and metadata. Options include Grepr-hosted storage (for simplicity) or customer-managed storage (for data sovereignty and compliance). All storage uses efficient formats like Apache Parquet and Apache Iceberg for optimal performance and cost.
External Integrations
For each integration we support, there are a few capabilities that we add, depending on the vendor:
- Agent source: enables the vendor's agents or collectors to send data to Grepr.
- Cloud source: enables Grepr to read data from the vendor service and process it.
- Query language: enables users to query the Grepr data lake using the vendor's query language.
- Exception parsing: enables Grepr to parse alerts and dashboards configured in the vendor and automatically add exceptions for them in the Grepr log reducer so as not to impact them.
Storage Integrations
Storage integrations allow Grepr to read from and write to various storage locations. Grepr can store data in either Grepr-hosted storage or in a customer-provided storage location.
For customer-provided storage, customers need to give Grepr access permissions. Details are described in each integration's detail page.
