Efficient Operations


• QUICK-start: Approachable platform where junior team members can get started quickly with out-of-the-box Illuminate content packs (pre-configured search templates, dashboards, and correlated alerts).
• High-Performance Data Ingestion: Engineered to ingest, normalize, parse, and analyze vast amounts of log data in real time, ensuring that data is immediately actionable.
• Audit Logs: Generates audit logs, helping organizations stay compliant by maintaining a clear, immutable record of activities.
• Query string history: Expedites incident response by streamlining workflow for pivot searches and recalling previous, unsaved search queries.
• Alerting: Reduces the overhead with configuring, enabling, and tuning events.
• Index field type profiles: Provides a defined set of field types, assignable to any number of index sets, for consistency and reducing duplicate efforts.


Scalable Secure Architecture
• Horizontal and Vertical Scalability: Supports scaling to accommodate fluctuating data volumes, ensuring consistent performance.
• Load Balancing: Built-in load balancing capabilities distribute processing efficiently, maximizing system uptime and reliability.
• Cost-Effective Data Tiers: Flexible data retention strategies are crucial for log management, where data volumes necessitate cost-effective storage without compromising query performance. Architects can configure retention policies directly.
o Hot Tier - Graylog utilizes OpenSearch to fully index data for optimal search. Data is processed into structured data to expedite search across known field types and classifications while enabling search across unstructured data.
o Warm Tier - Graylog utilizes OpenSearch’s Searchable Snapshots to enable search to extend to cheaper spinning disks or online storage options (AWS's S3).
o Cold Tier - Graylog provides an archival option not available with OpenSearch using a flat file proprietary format. With only a light index, customers "restore" data from archives back into hot or warm tiers if needed.


Encryption: Data anonymization and encryption support compliance and data protection regulations.
