It helps to check all the servers at a single time and no need to go to each server. It is very useful for managing open source logs. It catches any cyber crime very easily by doing deep analysis. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
