Overall Satisfaction with Graylog

We use Graylog to centralize and organize log data from our many applications running in our environment. Applications running in different operational systems and technologies can be very tricky to analyze their behavior, and that's where Graylog comes with its magic! We built fully functional and customizable dashboards, which makes our job easier, and fast to find, accurate, and act on several bad working applications in our environment.

Pros

  • Very fast process of hugh amounts of information
  • Easy to built dashboards with rich visual display
  • Intuitive filter string auto-complete
  • Alerts based on differents scenarios and triggers

Cons

  • Native plugins for more windows applications
  • Alerts integrations with third part applications
  • Cluster an high availability management
  • Positive: easy to deploy
  • Positive: rich data display in graphs and big numbers
  • Negative: uses a lot of disk space
Graylog is easy to deploy. The tricky part is to configure all hosts that are going to send their log data to Graylog, considering the retention period of this data, it will need a lot of disk space to store it. Its rotation works fine. It is very simple to navigate and explore the data you send to it, and very easy to filter and export them too.
Graylog has the simplest deployment, and it is ready to work in a few clicks. Although we also use Grafana and Zabbix in our environment, the role of processing log data is better suited to Graylog. In our case, we use Graylog to process and analyze web application logs, such as access and errors. And Graylog does it very fast and reliable way.

I recommend Graylog to be used in scenarios where log data needs to be analyzed with a rich level of detail and explorability, very close to real-time information. Also, if you need to be alerted based on analyzed data, Graylog also does the job. With many ways to display the processed data, it is very helpful for the day-to-day duties of any IT team.
