ES and the ELK stack is the worst pile of shit I've had to deal with. Everybody I know who has worked with it has had problems. Obscure messages that nobody can figure out what they mean. Dropping logs silently, sometimes because it can't reconcile two index mappings. Constant baby-sitting and needing to add more hardware even if there are no indications that it needs it, super hard to tune or understand. A proper db doesn't need this much work and shipping logs (syslog) has been solved since the 80s. Move to Loki.
