Review on Riemann by Mike Goodwin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very useful tool for log management!

The ability to do all of this in one platform is amazing! We have been using it extensively since release 3 or 4 years ago. It has gotten better over time but there are still some rough edges that need smoothing out - especially as we scale up our use cases. I would definitely recommend trying it if you haven't already done so. In almost every case where an issue came about it was resolved within hours (sometimes minutes) which made life much easier than having to chase down issues elsewhere. All log management problems were solved by adding logstash inputs into riemann and then publishing those logs through ELK/Splunk. We are using Riemann to process our logs and detect abnormal behavior in real time. It's been very easy to integrate with our existing infrastructure and we have seen immediate benefits in terms of detecting anomalous behavior. The Riemann team is very responsive and helpful. I wish there were more examples out there - it can be hard to get started without some guidance. Our main use case is log aggregation and detection of anomalies.
