What gives them pause
“Graylog is noted for having limited scalability, making it unsuitable for large-scale log management.”Mistral Small · Negative question · warning
“Graylog moved its server code to the Server Side Public License v1 ... SSPL is not OSI approved, so Graylog Open is source-available rather than open source.”Muse Glimmer 30B · Negative question · warning
“Can drop messages under load, limited scalability for very large environments, and complex setup/upgrades”Grok 4.20 · Negative question · warning
“Verdict: Be cautious – underestimating operational overhead.”DeepSeek V4 Flash · Negative question · warning

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page graylog.org exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.
