Elastic Observability Reviews & Product Details

Kibana is a great data visualization tool with an excellent user interface, providing different visualizations such as pie charts, histograms, etc. We have been using Kibana extensively to monitor the RPA bot automation and prepare various charts based on the same from the logs generated by the RPA bot. It seems really easy for non-technical people also to understand the visualizations generated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing much to dislike about the tool as it does an excellent job of what it is supposed to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kibana is the tool for all the professional logger management for any service and product based companies. It really gives the specifics of all the requests and responses from the backend side and helps to troubleshoot better and better for sequencing of the transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation has to be placed as a walkthrough document while we are using the tool which will help to quickly find the required configurations/jqls. This is missing in the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to manage, look logs into and you can sort and segregate logs based on time, log groups and millions of custom filters. It makes logging and debugging easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little complex at time to view logs, but over all it is great. The one thing I find annoying is you need to learn a whole new language in order to advance query the logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kibana elastic search offers a powerful and flexible dashboard to monitor the incoming and outgoing api. We love the KQL language that enables us to find the logs that we want quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the KQL query is fantastic, we would appreciate more user-friendly filter features, such as the ability to filter by "contain". Not everyone knows how to write KQL, and we have some not too technical business folks who regularly use the dashboard. It would be great if elastic search could add a few features to help them.

Poor documentation.

Not so easy at the first contact.

Hard to debugging issues.

It's challenging to maintain ES servers and that is why alot of organizations move to managed one or a SaaS based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The filtering of logs using queries and the analysis concerning time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some cases, the time range is not precisely captured, leading to an error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how I can save views and export log information I need to serve to customers as I troubleshoot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be hard to nail down the exact query language and sift through logs for the exact timestamp without the granular timestamp Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We will get the exact exception message for the error or warning, and we can easily find out the cause of the issue by analyzing the logs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The old data logs are difficult to find out (more than two months logs) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool allows the flexibility to modify results. I can save and view real-time data using the tool. It also allows you to view data on dashboards and you can create your own dashboards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing i dislike is that the query formation is a bit complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to get all types of logs like pod logs etc and filter can be easily modified. We can see both logs and line chat on the same dashboard and are also able to shorten the time ascending and descending order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response graphs are shown only for 30 seconds and also unable to expand the graph showing some data error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
