About Imply Lumi

Imply Lumi helps you process and analyze observability and security data while drastically reducing event storage costs at scale.

Powered by Imply’s storage and query engine, Lumi is a high-performance data warehouse for observability that efficiently stores and serves full-fidelity data. As a drop-in data layer, Lumi lets you:

  • Retain and access more data: Keep data at your desired fidelity for a fraction of your current costs.
  • Accelerate your searches and queries: Run queries of any complexity or duration at the best price-performance.
  • Operate as is: Continue using your existing observability tools and AI copilots.
  • Decouple and expand possibilities: Decouple your data from a single vendor, avoid lock-in, and keep your data portable.

Unlike workarounds that require dropping data or switching tools to reduce the total cost of ownership, Lumi delivers lightning-fast search performance across your full dataset directly within an existing system like Splunk®.

The following diagram illustrates event data flowing into both Lumi and an existing observability system.

Imply Lumi is available in multiple Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions. For details, see Cloud regions.

You can access events stored in Lumi through the Lumi UI and from federated search in an existing system like Splunk.
