I've been a mostly happy user of Elasticsearch for 5+ years, but agree it is a bit heavy for just logs (which is ironic, since that's the use case that really launched it beyond application search). I recommend Loki for logs, especially if you're already using Grafana: https://grafana.com/oss/loki/ https://grafana.com/oss/loki/

Years ago, ELK was the thing for log files. logstash. https://logz.io/blog/server-log-analysis/ https://logz.io/blog/server-log-analysis/ loki is indeed what I ended up with and it was a mostly easier install process (despite the missing easily installed debian packages). The next problem being that Graphana is actually quite terrible at rendering log files. It seems the log file usecase just isn't that popular.
