Streamline the Move to Graylog

Uncertainty sucks. Transitioning to a new SIEM platform can be daunting. Graylog aims to reduce this uncertainty by providing clear, structured support.

Switching to Graylog isn’t just about moving everything over—it’s an opportunity to clean house. Our transition services focus on what matters most to your security operations. We’ll help you streamline your setup, leaving behind outdated dashboards and reports while rethinking your alerts to focus on real, actionable insights. Instead of drowning in noise, you’ll get an asset-based approach to risk management, helping you prioritize and reduce alert fatigue.

Our tailored transition plan doesn’t just replicate what you have—it optimizes it. Whether refining your alerts or focusing on specific use cases, we help you unlock the full potential of Graylog to protect what’s important.

How long will the transition take?

It depends on your goals. Most users get comfortable with core features quickly, but we’ll work with you to ensure the transition supports your specific use cases and reduces unnecessary complexity. It generally takes a few weeks to a couple of months.

How does the transition process to Graylog work?

We take stock of your current setup and focus on transitioning the data and dashboards that matter most. It’s also the perfect time to clean up unused reports and rethink your alerts to reduce noise. The program looks like this:

Phase 1: Taking Stock

Assess current security goals and sponsorship
Inventory data sources and determine what needs to be migrated.
Identify how data is consumed and the requirements for replicating or improving these processes in Graylog.

Phase 2: Platform Transition

Transition ingested data while maintaining security continuity.

Translate existing saved queries, dashboards, and integrations to the Graylog platform.

Follow Graylog recommendations or replicate established business processes.

Phase 3: Value Transition

Ensure that the transition aligns with the organization’s security goals.

Optimize the value derived from Graylog’s capabilities, focusing on ease of use and efficiency.

Can I migrate my existing queries and dashboards to Graylog?

Absolutely, but we recommend using the transition to streamline. Bring over what’s essential, and we’ll help you clear out any clutter that’s no longer serving your needs. Some things may not transfer exactly “as is,” but we’ll ensure the underlying goals and desired outcomes are achieved.

Do you offer customer services?

The short answer is yes. If our standard program is not a good fit for you, we’ll work with you to create an approach that exactly meets your needs under a Professional Services Statement of Work.

Can I rethink my alerts and security approach during the transition?

Yes! The transition is a great time to revisit your alerts and ensure they align with your security goals. As part of our standard program, we’ll help you focus on reducing noise and optimizing for actionable insights that matter.

What costs should I expect during the transition?

Costs will vary significantly depending on the complexity of your environment and how much you want to replicate in Graylog from your current SIEM. However, we can promise transition costs will be straightforward, transparent, and we’ll work with you to maximize value.

How does Graylog handle data ingestion and alerts from my current platform?

Graylog makes it easy to transition what’s important. We’ll help you reformat and refine your data so that instead of just correlating events, you’ll focus on asset-based risk management, leading to smarter insights and less alert fatigue. We will also help you handle preprocessing requirements for complex data platforms to minimize your ongoing operating costs and maximize speed.

What if I need help during the transition?

Our team is here to guide you through the process, from documentation to hands-on support, ensuring that your setup is clean, efficient, and aligned with your key priorities.
