Elastic Observability Reviews & Product Details

Kibana along with Elasticsearch is such an useful and great open-source tool. In several projects we depend on ELK stack for monitoring and alerts. When it comes to searching for logs and errors, this is one of the best solutions out there in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The query language can be tricky. Even setting up certain alerts needs a certain level of tool and scripting. With the understanding of its scripting syntax, it can be hard to use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a bunch of things that I like about Kibana:

1. Beautiful visualization: The visualization provided on the interface is a very handy tool during debugging.

2. It also provides an interface to monitor and manage our Elastic cluster

3. We can filter logs on the basis of various parameters. This has come out to be the most important tool in our daily work and especially during incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike. It is going great with the application. The details we are provided are very specific and you can also use Search API and python packages to integrate with your scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Best Part of AWS Elasticsearch is the Managed Integrations and Easy Dashboards for Mostly Used Applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is Still Some Improvements Needed for Source Data For Monitoring, and There Should to Option to Monitor Old Data From SE Buckets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has the ability to search with any text from the log records, this helps a lot and saves lot of time. We can filter the log records based on conditions like environment, application, timestamp etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There should be a feature to save the current result set of the logs. View surrounding documents has bugs when we try to load more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We store application logs easily with elastic observability Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's difficult to integrate es with python as source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best thing about Kibana is the ease of conversion of visualization and dashboard into reports as we need reports to send to business daily for log and alerts. Also, automatic alert generation is an outstanding feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installation of external plugins require lot of effort and very difficult to install on the first go. If a dataset is too large, there are better options, or you can use Mongodb etc. UI can be further improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interactive charts, built-in aggregators, mapping support, and its easily accessible dashboard make Kibana very useful and easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not dislike anything, but it would be helpful if graphs were 3D instead of 2D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to collect data from various sources and the ability to process it on the go is the best feature of logstash. We mainly use it for collecting and processing data to send it to our database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is most compatible with elastic search but for others it needs a lot of improvement. So, documents to integrate it with other databases and tools should be provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Elasticsearch is a larger version of Logstash that brings together a smaller amount of data/logs. Elasticsearch creates an index for the data gathered, and one can use that index to fetch the data on Kibana or any other visualization tools to create reports.

Elasticsearch is only valid if we are dealing with more significant amounts of data or for companies willing to create reports for archived data of the previous 5 or 10 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kibana is an excellent tool to analyze log data and monitor or track logs for various applications. It is extremely user friendly Writing queries is also not rocket science and can be learned within a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installation is not very simplistic. The URLs are incredibly long; although there is an option of a short URL, it can timeout quickly. You then have to write the entire query again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
