A single tool for logging, alerting and dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
While writing queries you refine and build the searches is very helpful. Creating dashboard and graphical representation is easy.Creating Alerts and and setting intervals/cron schedule is quick. extraxting fields using auto regex is very helpful.Saved searches sharing in a secure manner. Sharing them in read-only formats like PDFs using database connection. Exporting data into XML and JSON format is what i uses while transferring or upload into a different infrastructure/system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes its very slow, not sure may be due to large amount of data .
While query is very big we should have a separate editor in place writing in query editor.
Some time fetching specific fields using extract field feature may not give what you need.
Sometime searches take little extra time to understand, mainly regular expressions and to new users.
Would be nice if data compression of data stored on disk can be optimized.
