Logs & Lattes: Episode 1 - Smart Logging Without the Price Trap

How much value are you really getting from your logs, and what are you giving up to stay on budget? In this episode of Logs and Lattes, host Palmer Wallace sits down with Seth Goldhammer, VP of Product Management at Graylog, for a candid conversation about the hidden cost of traditional SIEM pricing. Seth explains how ingest-based and resource-heavy licensing models pressure security teams into tough tradeoffs, such as dropping logs, tuning down detections, or limiting retention just to avoid budget overages.

Overcoming Performance Issues: Real-World Solutions to Keep Your Graylog System Running Smoothly

Are you experiencing performance issues with your Graylog instance? Are late-night alerts and unexplained slowdowns keeping you up at night? You're not alone if you’re dealing with license limit violations without a clear cause.

Or maybe it’s the opposite; you’re still early in your journey toward security maturity or logging new or custom applications without much guidance. It can be hard to feel truly comfortable with your environment’s security in both situations. Standards are good but can be too noisy and restrictive in some places and too quiet or permissive in others.
