The centralized logging capabilities of Elastic Stack have helped me streamline my logging processes significantly because there are many open-source tools available, such as Filebeat and Logstash, to collect the logs.
Elastic Stack is recognized for its scalability and integration, excelling in cloud and on-premise environments with powerful search and log management. It's effective for logging, monitoring, and security, but users report challenges with dashboard implementation and system integration. Concerns include steep pricing, limited support, inadequate documentation, and declining performance with large data volumes. Despite being open-source and community-supported, Elastic Stack's advanced query scripting is praised for enhancing log visibility and system monitoring.
