Google has introduced a new query builder to its Log Analytics tool, aiming to help enterprises manage cloud workload insights without requiring deep technical expertise.
The new tool abstracts SQL into a visual interface, assisting developers, DevOps teams, and site reliability engineers (SREs) in crafting complex SQL queries for monitoring and troubleshooting cloud workloads.
Log Analytics, part of Google's Cloud Logging service, provides insights into cloud workloads using SQL as the query language, helping enterprises manage security and costs, such as avoiding data egress fees.
Writing complex SQL code can be a tedious and time-consuming task, which most SREs and security teams would find difficult, analysts say.
The new query builder is designed to simplify this process, making it easier for teams to generate insights and manage cloud workloads effectively.
