The functionality of Logstash is quite easy to implement and the plugin ecosystem of Logstash is great, with plugins for shell script monitoring and SQL monitoring working well with the tool.
Logstash efficiently collects logs from various data sources, including hardware, and transforms them for presentation in Kibana. Multiple servers enhance high availability, supported by numerous plugins for diverse environments. While Logstash aligns well with improving organizational processes, it needs better compatibility and clustering capabilities. Importing logs poses challenges, and support from Elastic is limited, with technical assistance rated low. This makes research for solutions potentially unreliable.
