User Testimonials
	Grafana Loki	Nagios Log Server
Likelihood to Recommend	AWS integrations are easy, metrics are easily accesable Long term log insights need to be thought out and set up carefully Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Nagios Log Server facilitates the ability to search all entries of logs in a quick and easy way. Beyond that, it has allowed us to configure alerts for notification when there are potential threats (may they be security threats or only application-side problems), and to filter the data for audits and compliance.

Pros	Integration with AWS Notifications land where they should Broad integration options Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Log auditing. Server monitoring. Incentivized Gabriel Krahn Systems Engineer Read full review
Cons	Offer log suggestions. Offer basic query syntax check. Offer data range controls. Incentivized Joshua Li System Integration And Test Engineer Read full review	A bit hard to install and configure. High price. Incentivized Gabriel Krahn Systems Engineer Read full review
Usability	I think it is very developer minded and has a very high learning curve Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Nagios support is decent. Nothing bad to say about them, but nothing extraordinary too. We mostly asked them questions instead of actively asking them to change or fix things for us. The response time is OK, commonly you can get a response in the same day. You can also call, but they are available only during US office hours. Incentivized Gabriel Krahn Systems Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Loki is an essential complement to Grafana and provides logging metrics for dashboards and other visual tools. Loki can handle the service logging, while other data source plugins can provide more specific quantifiable metrics to support the logging data. Different types of metrics make a robust data dashboard.

Return on Investment	Enable engineers to access logs quickly to distribute the workload. Provide a possible standard for log access between multiple services. Provide data metrics for customer use.
