The transformation means we ship the logs in the way that we want them to be presented in Kibana, which is the main function we use Logstash for.
Logstash collects logs from diverse sources, including hardware, and supports high availability via multiple servers. Its numerous plugins facilitate use without other Elastic components, while it transforms log data for Kibana presentation. Logstash aligns with organizational goals but needs improved compatibility and clustering. Persistent log system import issues and unreliable research results persist, and technical support is rated poorly, highlighting areas for enhancement.
