Looks really great. Has anyone compared this to CloudWatch Logs? When I initially looked at CW Logs, it seemed fairly incomplete compared to Splunk.

#53Can I just have on thing that does event logs and snmp and uptime and alerting for internal and external devices in a secure way all in one package? I'm so tired of having to have 30 different softwares installed just to accomplish 3 things.

#54What other pieces of software are there in this class? Who are the competitors?

Splunk and ElasticSearch + LogStash + Kibana (ELK) are two popular solutions in the same space.

#56"Users who tested the beta and release candidate versions of v1.0 reported huge improvements in performance and stability. Some of them were unable to crash the system no matter how hard they tried." This statement from the page makes me conclude that others were indeed able to crash the system, perhaps without even trying too hard. My guess is that the statement should be re-worded.
I was able to crash the system without even trying. After waiting for a 500MB something docker image download and running the container halted the host OSX machine while looping with errors (failed API connections, failed to load SIGAR, ...) The screenshots looked great but the first steps experience were a deal breaker.
Maybe requiring a full VM when a standalone self-contained application will do is not the winning strategy.

#57Oh maaaaan the old graylog2 site had probably my /favorite/ branding in all of software. The heading was "Manage your logs in the dark and have lasers going and make it look like you're from space." https://web.archive.org/web/20130302051347/http://graylog2.o... Sad to see it's gone all "professional" now :( The web service had some hilarious bits too. Does it still say "enraging gorillas... | mounting party hats" et…
I miss that too. Also the Party Gorilla was fantastic. Either way, glad to see the project has grown!

I had the same question. Why are they using MongoDB when Elasticsearch can do the same job, may be better.
Re: Announcing Graylog v1.0 GA
#59Is Graylog effectively a single product that does the whole thing? My dismay with the ELK stack is you are effectively juggling 3 separate products with different release cycles.
The good thing about separate projects is that you can reuse Kibana in other projects. e.g www.packetbeat.com

Oh, we got both kinds. We got country and western. ;-)
Seriously, the Docker image and the VM images are there to help people getting started and to quickly try out Graylog. We also offer regular OS packages in DEB and RPM formats (supporting Debian 7, Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04, and CentOS 6) and a quick setup application (for a simple demo setup of Graylog and its dependencies). So choose your poison and be happy!
