Cascade is an observability solution that uses the power of Hydrolix to provide better understanding of your content delivery and security services. Hydrolix Cascade dashboards give you low-latency observability for your Amazon services with prebuilt visualizations and cost-effective, full-fidelity log retention for 15 months.

Purchasing and Setting up Cascade

Cascade configuration is driven by CloudFormation scripts that configure AWS and Hydrolix for you.

How It Works

Cascade uses your data sources and S3 storage in your AWS account to give you control over resource use. Hydrolix handles the rest on Hydrolix-managed AWS services, providing dashboards with information about your services.

AWS logs are sent via Kinesis or Data Firehose to Cascade. After processing, indexing, and compression, the log data is written in Hydrolix format to S3 in your AWS account. Later, Cascade's query engine uses that data to serve queries that power Grafana dashboards and alerts.

Manage Cascade

Cascade provides a management console that allows you to create, configure, and delete configuration once you've performed the initial setup. It also provides a link to your Cascade Dashboards.
