Ingestion Forecasting

Parseable's AI-powered forecasting feature helps you predict future data volumes and optimize resource allocation by analyzing historical ingestion patterns.

How It Works

The forecasting engine uses your recent log ingestion patterns to predict what's coming next. Enable it, and you'll see projected ingestion volumes right in your dashboards.

Key Features

• Extended Filter Support: AI-based ingestion forecasting works with any filter you apply, allowing you to get automatic predictions for specific views (e.g., logs for a specific team or region)

• Visualized Integration: Forecasts appear directly in the Parseable Explore UI, so you can compare historical and predicted loads at a glance

• Customizable Time Ranges: Select different time ranges to see short-term or long-term forecasts based on your planning needs

Benefits

• Capacity Planning: Anticipate storage and processing needs before they arise

• Cost Optimization: Allocate resources efficiently based on predicted usage patterns

• Anomaly Detection: Identify unusual spikes or drops in data volume that deviate from forecasted patterns

• Proactive Management: Move from reactive to proactive infrastructure management

Use Cases

1. Infrastructure Scaling: Determine when to scale your infrastructure based on predicted log volume increases

2. Budget Planning: Forecast storage costs and resource requirements for financial planning

3. Seasonal Pattern Analysis: Identify cyclical patterns in your data to better understand your application behavior

4. Anomaly Investigation: Compare actual ingestion with forecasted values to quickly identify unexpected behavior

Configuration

Forecasting is enabled by default in your Enterprise license. You can configure forecast settings including:

• Forecast horizon (how far into the future to predict)
• Confidence interval display
• Refresh frequency
