I moved to a company that uses ElasticSearch as an observability stack. It has been such an awful experience. It’s just painful creating new dashboards and alerts, such that people avoid having to deal with it at all. One example is that alerts are completely independent from dashboards. It’s so difficult to get a full graph related to the alert condition to gather more context. The reason it’s like this, imo, is that they are trying to do too much with the same product and so each feature feels compromised. At my last company I was very enthusiastic about monitoring where we were using Splunk and SignalFX. It was just fast, seamless, and reliable.
