Facilitates backend service monitoring with efficient log retrieval and API flexibility

Graylog is valuable because it bridges technical knowledge to non-technical teams, presenting complex backend processes in a simple timeline. It boosts the knowledge of sales and customer support teams by allowing them to see the backend operations without needing to read the code. Its API is flexible for visualization, and its powerful search engine efficiently handles large volumes of log data. Moreover, its stability, fast search capabilities, and compatibility with languages like ANSI SQL enhance its utility in IT infrastructure.

Good file integrity monitoring and change tracking tools but the knowledge base needs to be available online

For the NNT Log Tracker and Change Tracker, they have to make their knowledge base available online because there is very little information available on the internet. I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Graylog's search functionality, alerting functionality, user management, and dashboards are useful."

"We have scaled from a single machine installation (a VM with a Graylog + ES + MongoDB) to (2 Graylog + 2 ES + 3 MongoDB). This was done smoothly with a minimal impact on logging."

"Everything stands out as valuable, including the fact that I can quantify and qualify the logs, create pipelines and process the logs in any way I like, and create charts or data maps."

"I am very proud of how very stable the solution is."

"UDP is a fast and lightweight protocol, perfect for sending large volumes of logs with minimal overhead."

"Storing logs in Elasticsearch means log retrieval is extremely fast, and full text search is available by default."

"The best feature of Graylog is the Elasticsearch integration. We can integrate and we can run filters, such as an event of interest, and those logs we can send to any SIEM tool or as an analytic. Additionally, there are clear and well-documented implementation instructions on their website to follow if needed."

"It is used as a log manager/SIEM. It provides visibility into the infrastructure and security related events."

More Graylog pros

"This is a very easy-to-use interface with a quick ramp-up time."

"The FIM features in the Change Tracker and the Log Tracker are the most valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the predefined reports for PCI compliance."

"File integrity monitoring is a very important function."

Cons

"Lacks sufficient documentation."

"Its scalability gets complicated when we have to update or edit multiple nodes."

"We ran into problems with Elasticsearch throwing a circuit-breaking exception due to field data size being too large. It turned out that the heap size directly impacted this size in a high-throughput environment, causing unexplained instability in Graylog. We were able to troubleshoot on the Elasticsearch size, but we should have been able to reference some minimum requirements for Graylog to know that our settings weren't sufficient."

"Since container orchestration systems are popular and Graylog fits the niche well, perhaps they could officially support running in docker containers on Kubernetes as a StatefulSet as a use case. That way, the declarative nature of Kubernetes config files would document their best case deployment scenario-"

"When it comes to configuring the processing pipeline, writing the rules can be very tedious, especially since the documentation isn't extensive on how the functions provided for these rules work."

"Graylog needs to improve their authentication. Also, the fact that Graylog displays logs from the top down is just ridiculous."

"Over six months, I had two similar issues where searches were performed on field "messages". It exhausted all the memory of the ES node causing an ES crash and a Graylog halt."

"I would like to see some kind of visualization included in Graylog."

More Graylog cons

"The correlation suite needs to be improved."

"Only one minor deployment issue came up and it was resolved quickly. No other areas of improvement come to mind yet."

"I would like to see the integration of AI technology, so rather than manually monitoring the logs, the tool will understand it and take care of it."

"It is able to identify the vulnerability, however, they need an option to auto-mitigate."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version of the product. However, the paid version is expensive."

"You get a lot out-of-the-box with the non-enterprise version, so give it a try first."

"Consider Enterprise support if you have atypical needs or setup requirements."

"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"Graylog is a free open-source solution. The free version has a capacity limitation of 2 GB daily, if you want to go above this you have to purchase a license."

"I am using a community edition. I have not looked at the enterprise offering from Graylog."

"There is an open source version and an enterprise version. I wouldn't recommend the enterprise version, but as an open source solution, it is solid and works really well."

"Having paid official support is wise for projects."

More Graylog pricing and cost advice

"We have selected a perpetual license along with support."

"Consider both their on-premises solution and their hosted solution. Both are reasonably priced."

"NNT's pricing is moderate - I would rate their pricing two-and-a-half out of ten."
