Summary

Logz.io offers a streamlined process for migrating from the ELK Stack to its managed log management solution, promising ease for existing ELK users by allowing them to use familiar log shipping methods and Kibana objects. The migration is facilitated by redirecting log shipping to Logz.io, which supports a wide array of log shipping methods across various platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as direct integration with programming languages and applications like Kubernetes and Docker. Logz.io provides automatic log parsing for popular sources and offers "Parsing-as-a-service" for custom needs, ensuring that users can maximize the value of their logs. Users can migrate their Kibana objects to Logz.io, preserving their existing dashboards and visualizations, thus avoiding the need to recreate them. Once migrated, users can decommission their internal ELK Stack, as Logz.io's fully managed service handles scaling, parsing, and other maintenance tasks. Additionally, Logz.io enhances the ELK experience with features like real-time alerts, log pattern clustering, cognitive insights, application insights, and prebuilt ELK Apps, while also offering broader observability tools like Cloud SIEM and infrastructure monitoring.
