"Versatile log processor with ample community support and rapid updates"

What do you like best about Elastic Security?

The thing I like the most about logstash is the ability to adjust it to whatever you are doing. If it is your own custom project, or a standard input source it will bend to your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elastic Security?

Setting up logstash took a while when I had no idea how to get it working. What I am trying to say is the learning curve was a little higher than I thought. That and GROK is horrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Elastic Security:

Learn to use Grok. Find a Grok parser online and then look for a LOT of guides on how to write grok. There are plenty of them out there.

When you have found your guide, test out your code. Set up a CI / CD environment, even if it is a simple one to test out your changes to your logstash configuration files.

Make sure you setup all your inputs and outputs as separate files, it makes for a LOT easier debugs.

Use a version control system like git, it makes finding problems with your configuration changes a LOT easier

Basically what I am saying is follow the principals of DevOps, logstash is trouble Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Elastic Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Analyzing windows and Linux log files for common use, and miss use of computers. Being able to see in one central location how all of the systems and clients are behaving is wonderful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High memory consumption.
