Graylog - an easy solution for log management

Recently, I was researching for opensource log management tools. I had only two requirements. Log Search and Log analytics. A lot of posts in the internet suggested me to use an ELK stack. But, I wanted to do something different. I found graylog as an alternative to ELK. One can setup and run it in minutes. It uses mongodb, elastic search and graylog server. Here is the login page: grylog provides different options to stream logs into graylog server. I used the simple UDP listener and forwarded logs from multiple devices into this listener. Next step is to create dashboards using the search. Here is the search page: Once search is done, you can add the widgets to a dashboard.
