Graylog Reviews & Product Details

The enormous amount of detail it provides for each API is extremely helpful during complex debugging processes. In many cases, without this level of detail, debugging would likely end in a dead end. This is my every day tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The complexity of using Graylog is sometimes not helpful. Getting things into the right flow while working on it can take a lot of time, and in such cases, the tool ends up wasting time during debugging or even when simply reviewing API responses, instead of saving it.

Logs from all our systems can be easily and quickly searched through. Alerting based on matched logs is also a huge benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The search feature isn't straight-forward, it requires learning the little in's and out's of how the search is meant to be used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliable, cost-effective and meeting industry standards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe only downside could be integrating more platforms into Graylog Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Graylog reads logs, and the filtering options they offer. It is easy to deploy to the client's environment. Customer support in Graylog is probably okay - Gladly I didn't have to go through this. I use it 3-4 days per week at work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think creating dashboards and filtering of he events is not the best for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love about Graylog is that you can just set up ingestion lines and throw logs at it. That way, you have your logs in one place ready for processing and make stunning dashboards without no effort Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Graylog is that I am not able to send in windows event logs without an external daemon due to either graylog not supporting this or windows not speaking syslog. Another big issue I have is the ancient Elasticsearch version they use as they still depend on 7.10 (or lower) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great GUI and easy syntax for search filters Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Confuse streams and inputs configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fairly easy to use in a .NET application. It uses log4net appenders, which is very common and well supported. When everything is set up correctly, it has many ways to group your logs, and it offers an easy way to query. It supports alerts by email and if your message is json, it parses that beautifully through a so called "extractor". It also supports Active Directory. Creation of dashboards is very easy.

I'm not a big fan of products that use other products (elasticsearch) and is dependent on a very complex infrastructure (linux). I guess we should have used docker containers right from the start, but as it is right now (with a virtual Linux server) it's a scary business to update it to the latest version. Partly because you'll need to control both Graylog and ElasticSearch. It took quite a while to set up a good working environment. Logging servers are part of the group of necessary software that you don't really want any learning curve associated with. It should be a product where you just click "install", and works out of the box. Graylog is not like that. But it's free, and works as good as any paid product, so we can't complain.

This tool is best used for log collection and log management. It is cost effective and has a lot of features at a less cost compared to other solutions in the market. Create dashboards and filters for all kinds of logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multi line logs breaking into individual logs is one disadvantage we couldn't get fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Graylog to view all logs for system across different environment (dev, test, pre-prod, prod). It gives us power to debug all good or bad event occurred in systems. We use this tool to backup our logs so if needed to review them, we can go back as far needed. It allows us to collect our data so easily and fast approach.

Its free version is extraordinary awesome to use.

Log searching is quick if you use it well. Graylog does good job of managing Elasticsearch index. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you do not know how to play around its setup then it would be tricky. Some documentation and tutorial video would be helpful.

Graylog can't read from syslog files, so you need to send your messages to Graylog directly. In terms of management, it's not friendly enough on the dashboard front. Reporting functionality is quite messy and poor.

sometimes you mostly ended with lots of data of no use if it is not properly configured as per your system.

Searching of logs sometimes needed query as per information needed which is not easy to write. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a platform that allows centralized registry management to collect data from any data source in a more organized way, you can obtain data visualization, compliance reports, event registration and network, in other others. provides easy-to-use tools and functions, such as threat search, compliance auditing, and more. This allows us to find the meaning of the data quickly and easily. Its interface is clean and organized, it is ideal to navigate without problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has limitations in visualizations and graphics, they should expand the options to improve performance within the platform. This does not mean that it is bad software, because we have really had a satisfactory experience, but it can be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
