Graylog overview

What is Graylog?

Graylog is an open, AI-powered SIEM and log management platform designed to help security and IT teams gain visibility, detect threats, and control log data costs without unnecessary complexity or vendor lock-in.

Graylog centralizes logs, security telemetry, and operational data from cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments into a single platform. With built-in parsing, normalization, correlation, and threat intelligence enrichment, teams can quickly understand what’s happening across their environment and respond with confidence.

Designed for organizations with limited security resources, Graylog reduces alert fatigue through practical, explainable AI, entity-centric risk prioritization, and guided investigation workflows. Analysts can move from alert to context to resolution in fewer steps, focusing on real risks instead of sorting through noisy detections.

Selective ingestion and intelligent data tiering help organizations keep SIEM costs predictable by ensuring only actively used data consumes license and performance resources. Historical logs remain accessible for investigations and compliance without forcing teams to pay for unnecessary ingestion or hot storage.

Graylog supports flexible deployment models, including self-managed, cloud, and hybrid environments, with open integrations that work alongside existing security and IT tools. With powerful search, customizable dashboards, automated alerts, and reporting, Graylog delivers unified logging and security analytics that scale with your environment—without locking you into a single ecosystem.

User opinions about Graylog price and value

Value for money rating:

To see what individual users think of Graylog's price and value, check out the review snippets below.

“Speaking about security, it helps me a lot, I collect logs from firewall, nas, switch, windows (e.g. Domain Controller and Terminal Server) and linux server, especially if they are published on internet. If you have an exchange on premise you should collect the log files under inetpub directory (use the windows filebeat). ”
