Features
Universal Log Collection and Analytics
Leverage vRealize Log Insight to collect and analyze all types of machine-generated log data. Administrators can connect it to everything in their environment—operating systems (including Linux and Windows), applications, container platforms (including Kubernetes), storage, firewalls, network devices or something else—for enterprise-wide visibility via log analytics.
Enterprise-Class Scalability
Highly scalable and designed to handle all kinds of machine generated data. In recent internal testing, Log Insight was three times faster than the leading solution in query tests across 1 billion log messages. Each node can ingest double the data per node, supporting up to 15,000 events per second, per node.
Intuitive GUI & Easy Deployment
An intuitive, GUI-based interface makes it easy to run simple interactive searches, as well as deep analytical queries for quick insights that provide immediate value and improved IT efficiency. vRealize Log Insight automatically chooses the best visualization for your data, saving you valuable time.
Built-in VMware Cloud Knowledge
Developed by VMware experts, vRealize Log Insight comes with built-in knowledge and support for VMware Cloud technologies. However, you can analyze logs beyond your virtual infrastructure and use a central log management solution to analyze data from your entire IT environment.
Integration With vRealize Operations
Integration with the vRealize Operations platform extends operational visibility and proactive management capabilities across infrastructure and applications. It also helps you maximize ROI, by bringing unstructured data (such as log files) together with structured data (such as metrics and key performance indicators).
Flexible Consumption Method
Use vRealize Log Insight through on-premises licensing, or as a cloud service. Consume standalone, as part of vRealize Suite, or as a subscription through the new vRealize Cloud Universal.
* Full-functioning version of Log Insight, but EULA enforced only for vSphere and NSX events. Log Insight license is only good for vSphere and NSX content packs

Pricing
vRealize Log Insight is available both on premises and as-a-service. In both cases it can be purchased standalone or bundled in various VMware suites. There are four licensing models.
- Portable Licensing Units: This is the licensing metric for vCloud Suite and vRealize Suite.
- Per Operating System Instance: vRealize Log Insight is licensed on a per operating system instance (OSI) basis, which is defined as any server, virtual or physical, with an IP address that generates logs, including network devices and storage arrays. You can analyze an unlimited amount of log data per OSI. The advantage of this is a simple and predictable pricing model that is based on the size of the infrastructure. You don’t have to buy additional licenses to cover the worst-case scenario and pay more for increased log volumes. This is an important distinction because systems and devices can generate huge amounts of log data during peak times, or while monitoring and troubleshooting for various IT issues.
- Per Processor with Unlimited VMs: vRealize Log Insight is also available on a per CPU basis, where there is one flat fee for all log data sources from a single CPU, regardless of hypervisor or number of guest OSs.
- Software as a service (SaaS): Visit the vRealize Log Insight Cloud page on cloud.vmware.com for more details.
