New to ChaosSearch?

As a born-in-the-cloud service, ChaosSearch resources can be quickly deployed to work with your cloud storage. If you're looking at ChaosSearch for the first time, you can try a small environment with some sample data using our Free Trial, or contact us for a more in-depth proof-of-value experience.

After you have a deployed ChaosSearch environment (that is, ChaosSearch is installed and running on designated compute resources) and you have the domain and login account information, follow these steps to get started:

Step 1. Enable access to cloud storage.
Step 2. Define object groups.
Step 3. Define Refinery® views.
Step 4. Search, visualize, and monitor your indexed data.


What’s Next

To begin, make sure that ChaosSearch can access the cloud storage buckets that hold the raw business data.
