Graylog Reviews & Product Details

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.

This application is very useful software for managing open source logs. The analysis provided on capture data is very useful for our organisation. We can check the servers at a single time interval. We can also search very frequently and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I suggest that there is nothing to dislike in this application but it is requires higher RAM devices to work very easy. Needs devices with good features to work properly. We have to know about technology for working with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its easy implementation was a totally determining factor to use it in the company I work for. I was able to test using the open source version before implementing it.Alerts are extremely easy to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installing plugins is quite tedious, unlike Splunk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like this platform because it allows us to manage the code registration quickly to get the information we need. It allows to detect crimes and frauds by performing a deep analysis of logs and intrusion data. It integrates very well with Slack increasing the collaboration and supervision of the tax analyst teams. Helps you quickly find your own errors and correct them It has a clear interface that makes it easy to understand.

We can search anything very fast and easily. It has very nice dashboard logs table and creating indexing lots of things to make easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not work if the RAM storage is below 2GB. One who does not deeply know about technology will not be able to work with this software. It is not very clear how to connect graylog to an external collector capable of providing widely advertised threat intelligence features. Sometimes problems occur within the system such as screen freezing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the capabilities and the option that are available in the tool which capture the real time data and the analysis provided on that capture data is very impressive.

Such processed data will be useful for any organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can be more option can be added like integrated the tool with other cloud software so that much complexity is reduced to capture data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog is an amazing software for managing open source logs with lots of features. It allow me to check all the server at a same time without going on each of the server. Integration with aws and slack makes monitoring more easier. It is a very easy to use software. It user friendly interface make managing logs more interesting. It's search syntax is so amazing that it find me out the exact same thing that I was finding even in a large amount of log data. It is a software which allow me to store, capture, search and analyze logs in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

According to me there is nothing to dislike in this software as it is Best monitoring tool with amazing features. But the only thing is that it requires a little bit higher RAM otherwise working on this software is very easy and comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ease of setup and integration, docker support, powerful search features, alerting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

managing searches and search console could be more intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog is one of the best application to managing open source logs with lots of features.

Graylogs assists to check on all the server at same point of time which help to save lot of time.

Graylog is solution built to open standards for storing, capturing, analysis and removing complexity from data exploration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog have everything amazing but required a device with more than 2gb RAM memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the amazing flexibility which it offers for managing open source log. It is used rightly for aggregating and parsing logs that can be latterly analyzed in order to get most relevant information. I would say this is the best ever replacement for Splunk. It is used to detach threats by doing deep analysis. I appreciate and love the way it deals with cyber-crime using logs as well as traces of intrusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback I hardly found yet is that its learning curve is quite steep as compare to other software due to which users must have little bit technical knowledge otherwise after getting familiar with it, soon you will have complete command on it then it is very much enjoyable. Other then this I am always a satisfied user of Graylog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm Using Graylog from past 3 years.I started graylog with the version 2.3 it took me configure 10 days to configure. but now it's easy to install and configure the nodes with easy manner with the help of Documentation. it's have a now lots of thins to work on it. creating dashboard with each separate node and we can check the message flow how much message receiving. that make easy to analysis if something went wrong in the host. we can check out. it's very useful to analysis the logs data in Graylog. it have very good Dashboard logs table & creating indexing lots of thing to make easy to retrieve the metadata from the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

well! it's hard to answer this question. when i started to work on Graylog with v2.3 each version come with new ideas and fulfill all the requirement. i'll recommend the more improvement required on documentation for beginner it's little quite not easy to prefer. i want to add one thing that we can add voip Phone logs also still i'm looking for a solution but didn't find. I hope that'll add in upcoming version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) Graylog is a free, open-source software. Awesome Visualisation of Logs (e.g Http response, login customer or micro service hit of our DB)

2) Real time logging.

3) Integration with Slack & AWS makes our monitoring more better.

4) Its trigger actions or notifications immediately inform us when something needs attention, so we constantly keep abreast of the system performance.

5) With error stack traces received from Graylog, engineers understand the context of any issues in the source code. This saves time and efforts for debugging/troubleshooting and bug fixing.

6) The tool has a powerful search syntax, so it is easy to find exactly what you are looking for, even if you have terabytes of log data. The search queries could be saved.

7) Graylog offers an archiving functionality, so everything older than 30 days could be stored on slow storage and re-imported into Graylog when such a need appears (for example, when the dev team need to investigate a certain event from the past). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) its enterprise support is too costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog is a different infrastructure system that allows us to reduce the database and I must specify that I love it because it makes life so much easier work is released because the database is already in digital mode and is easier use it, allowing me to count with tools to reduce and erase duplicates and to add employees to maintain an order and make payroll payments in an orderly and fair way, very happy with this software for the ease of handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some problems occur within the system such as screen freezing or the panel, at other times it can be difficult to upload the data manually when the system is not configured completely well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog is very simple to install on servers. Their documentation [https://docs.graylog.org/en/3.2/] covers all technical aspects from prerequisites to install gray log to maintaining it will help a technical guy to understand graylog mechanism easily. Graylog unlike ELK stack abstracts the technical difficulties that a user might face during installation.

Graylog comes with a UI which is very user friendly and easy to understand. You can create multiple input channels from various input channels and configurations in graylog UI is pretty straight forward. you can simply browse over different input channels to view respective logs.

Graylog supports GELF format using which you can send your log to your graylog server using graylog API url. They provide many attributes that you can use to post in your graylog API call. GELF format makes it very easy to filter logs on the UI and increases productivity.

Graylog UI supports GQL which is like another query language that you can use for fast retrieval of logs.

Graylog supports ACL and have different settings which you can use to increase performance of your graylog server's input and output process.

Graylog community is very active in resolving user queries. You can expect a response within minutes of posting your question on their community portal [ https://community.graylog.org/ ].

Graylog is opensource and hence its free and can easily be used as a solution to any companies distributed log environment.

You can share a permalink of a log with other team members which is very useful.

Another noticeable feature is its ability to get integrated with other application which can be usefuk if your planning for alert monitoring.

Graylog UI supports historic filtering of your data meaning you can use to filter logs based on a certain time period.

Graylog shows you the histogram for the number of log inputs that have been collected against time period which is useful in graylog performance monitoring.

You can increase the buffer window in graylog setting so that graylog processes logs collected from sidecars pretty fast.

It have a good community support and there are various libraries in different programming languages that adheres to GEL format which makes a hussle free task for a developer to implement those libraries in the application and throw logs to the graylog server.

Gray log performs better in clustered environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog is not free when it comes to maintenance of your logs. They have made their log archiving feature a paid one which is fair in scenarios where you dont have the respective personnel to do the same.

Performance of graylog is affected with the number of sidecars being used to push logs to graylog.

So graylog requires a good storage space and CPU cores in such scenarios. Graylog stack becomes heavy as your log size increases.

Due to graylogs heavy stack, it can become very difficult to get the live logs.

If planning to implement the GELF approach of the graylog than site uptime of a graylog server can be an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installation documentation is clear. It is the best software for centralizing and viewing all log for all IT devices : Server, Router, Switch.

Alert, stream and dashboard is very usefull Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been blocked on mail notification when i activate TLS or SSL. But I have found tips to resolve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog is a system that allows us to register in an orderly and automatic way the database of the company and we like it because it works in a very easy way and its use can be very simple, since adding the data base and offering you a Order without duplicate is perfect, besides this process is done automatically, it is only to add the database and start monitoring each one to offer a system where you can obtain an order of the entire organization, whether employees, audits or The payment of the systems used in the company, each one is introduced and kept safe, would be a more complex but easy to handle data base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only problem we have with this software is that some circumstances because trying to introduce payment system can complicate the system a bit although its feature is there is not very complete, it is necessary to deepen that feature and improve the service.

Graylog is a platform that provides a very unified and centralized system of messages from different sources such as: operating systems, application servers, information system, among many others. Graylog is a software that provides alerts and log history search systems using ElasticSearch as the main index database, together with atSistemas. With these tools you can discover how to implement different solutions in complex environments. Overall Graylog is a platform that is designed to capture, store, search and analyze logs in real time, the interface provided by Graylog has a unique design and is highly functional at all times, in all the time I have been working with Graylog I can say with confidence that this platform provides a unique and high quality system that allows its users to implement different functions with great performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the weaknesses of Graylog is that it is a software that has a long learning curve, which I believe is not for beginners to work with, as it can be very difficult to use this platform correctly if the person does not have a good knowledge of all the functions that Graylog provides. Another disadvantage that Graylog has is that its support team is very slow to help people solve bugs or problems with the platform, and in general I think this is a factor that should be taken into account to improve, so that your users do not have a bad experience with Graylog's support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its interface can be one of the best compared to other similar softwares, it is good for record management that has been very useful and especially because it is the solution to monitor the records and see if it is sent correctly, it is simple and easy to use . It has been totally efficient and shows a good clear configuration due to its good design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment I have not had any problems and I hope not to have it, I honestly do not have to complain, but I know that this software should be better known since it is very good, but it would be good if they implemented new features to make it more complete, everything else is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog is a very efficient tool for summarizing, aggregating dashboard data and visual representations, Graylog is a platform that is distinguished by being highly accessible. Although it is a great open source log management solution, I personally consider it a very flexible and agile tool to perform different tasks with great accuracy. Graylog has allowed us to perform data analysis quickly and accurately which is a very advantageous factor for us, I personally consider Graylog to be the best alternative for people who are looking for a highly functional platform to manage code records, in general considering that Graylog's price is very convenient due to its high quality of service, its interface allows people to get all the functionalities quickly and is very comfortable to work with, really Graylog's service has proven to be of great strength and to be unbeatable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The operation of Graylog is really precise and in general there are very few times when Graylog has shown to have imperfections in its functionality, personally I consider that one of the improvements that this platform needs is its support team, because it is very slow to help its users to solve different kinds of problems that the platform presents and sometimes this can cause great loss of time to the people who depend on Graylog, but I really don't consider it a worrying factor because this usually happens very rarely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Graylog is a truly unparalleled tool, because it is perfect for summarizing, aggregating data into simple dashboards and visual representations, which is a function we find very helpful in fulfilling various functions in our organization. Although it is a code logging management solution tool, Graylog has proven to be a really flexible and agile software to work with, which is an advantage when it comes to analyzing data in a fast and intuitive way. One of the features that caught my attention when we started using this platform is that this software keeps all error logs from our internal applications in one place, which allows us to make constant improvements so that those bad scenarios are not repeated in the different applications. Overall, Graylog is a platform that has many positive aspects to offer to its users, actually Graylog is one of our favorite platforms that we use in our organization because it helps us solve a lot of problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In general, Graylog has never had any irregularities in its operation, it really always allows us to fulfill various tasks with great performance. However, one of the features that developers should consider adding to their package for first time users is a manual or tutorial of all the functions that this platform brings and how to use it correctly, since I personally consider that this platform brings a very steep learning curve and for inexperienced people it can be difficult to work efficiently with Graylog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reason why I recommend Graylog is because it has that feasibility and a powerful log management tool comes with user friendly interface which acts as a centralised log server.

I am using it to capture all my web servers logs that enhances my performance and productivity to analyse n capture logs so efficiently. The better part we can categories the logs based on the severity and create our on customised dashboard as per the requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can’t think as of now. It’s full filling all my requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Grazie a questo sistema di management dei log centralizzato Riesco a installare con semplicità e immediatezza In ambienti di produzione appartenenti a clienti che vietano espressamente per policy di security interne installazione di software terzi sulle loro macchine virtuali, un workaround Per il monitoraggio proattivo di triggers e problemi tramite il potente parsing dei log attraverso strumenti di ricerca Linux based come le espressioni regolari di egrep.

È necessario esporre più porte per poter ricevere dati e log da più macchine virtuali, questo crea confusione in ambienti cluster Con centinaia se non migliaia di nodi da monitorare.

Andrebbe rivista la comunicazione dei syslog magari tramite un proxy syslog esposto su una porta TCP o UDP univoca. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

La configurazione iniziale non è delle più semplici in quanto il sistema, seppur distribuito in un unico pacchetto Java richiede il tuning e la configurazioni di input per consentire ad ElasticSearch di ricevere dati e memorizzarli correttamente. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
