Pros Open source, scalable, efficient, many powerful features, accepts all sorts of inputs for logs, open marketplace for users to share their content packs Cons Large scale deployment documentation is missing (sure they give you ideas but it could really use a how to article or video). Could use some of the features from kibana. Review Source UP Uthpala P. Technical project manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Graylog used as a platform for performance monitoring" July 28, 2020 4.0 Pros We have integrated graylog with a ES cluster and used beats forwarders to send performance metrics from a server cluster. So from a single interface we were able to setup log settings for multiple inputs. Also the grok patterns were very useful for incoming message processing. Cons Would like to have few more dashboard options. Some panels like Kibana dashboards.

Easy to install with ELK stack to improvise the log server architecture. We were able to implement a centralized log management with GUI and sent filtered logs to SIEM which saved cost of SIEM license and enhanced security incident management. Pros Integration with multiple log sources and log filtering. Cons Alert notification based on correlation of log parameters feature is missing. Reason for choosing Graylog Easy installation and migration to licensed version. Review Source LS Lawrence S. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Logging and alerting all in one place" July 23, 2019 5.0 Pros The most that I like about this software is that it keeps all of our application error logging all in one place and we use it to set up alerting policies whenever we get more than 5 errors in a minute or so. This allows us to get our engineers on the problem and fix it as soon as possible instead of waiting until a end-user reports an error which is not proactive. Cons The least thing that I liked about the software was the way that it collects the logs, you need to send your logs in a specific format for Graylog to consume so that may take writing a small application or script in the middle to parse and format your logs over to Graylog in the correct format.

IT-Administrator Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good log analysis solution" December 23, 2020 5.0 With time, a powerful solution Pros Dashboards and custom fields. Compatible with every system Cons Its not easy for beginners , no price list on the website, time consuming installation Review Source AL Allen L. N/A Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to set up and use " June 15, 2020 5.0 When I needed to get logs into one centralized location for reading and understanding, graylog accomplished this when others couldn't. Pros Compared to other products of similar nature, I found graylog to be the easiest to setup and deploy, even on a limited VM. It's surprisingly well put together and can run even on a resource limited virtual machine. Cons The interface could be a bit nicer, maybe it has improved since I last used it, but that's the only issue I had with it. Review Source DM Deepthi M. Lead Security Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool" June 9, 2020 5.0 Pros The ease of use and integration, we are sending all app logs to Graylog and generating alerts and sending the alerts to Splunk. This is helping reduce the cost. Cons There is no particular feature we haven't liked. Review Source Similar Products Featured
