VerificadoDevOps · graylog.org
Resumen
Graylog is a log management and SIEM platform that collects, parses, searches, and analyzes log data from servers, network devices, cloud services, and applications. It ships as a free, source-available Open edition for self-hosted deployment, alongside paid Enterprise, Security (SIEM), and managed Cloud tiers built on the same core engine.
El problema que resuelve Graylog
Ops and security teams juggling logs from Linux/Windows servers, firewalls, cloud services, and network appliances often need fast search across huge log volumes without committing to Splunk-level spend. Graylog solves this by combining a genuinely free, self-hosted open-source core with paid Enterprise and Security (SIEM) tiers on the same engine, though teams should budget time for a real setup and clustering learning curve and expect to pair it with something like Grafana if dashboard polish matters.
