It has the best interface to browse throw stream of logs. I've tried some commercial tools: Loggly, Papertrail and Logentries but I've switched back to stack Kibana + Logstash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that configuration format has been changed several times.

I would like to have interface to configure the Logstash plugins and settings in the Kibana interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very powerful and flexible tool that enables search and retrieval very efficiently on commodity clusters. Text search is very flexible and customizable, which allows for almost any use cases you can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The query language is complicated and not particularly intuitive (too many levels JSON nesting). Further, the native API is not very well documented and difficult to use. Given the flexibility and power of the software, this is to be expected, but more examples and use cases would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with Kibana and Logstash turns it into a powerful data and trend visualisation tool with the ability to run ad hoc queries. HTTP interface and schemaless nature allow users flexibility to modify both data stored and queries run as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
