To the people suggesting ELK i just want to ask if you have actually used it in production? Like for real bughunting and investigating support requests?

As much as we absolutely love ElasticSearch for our other indexing needs, we find it quite hard to get the LK-part of the stack to deliver as promised. Kibana may serve up nice graphs and charts, but when you need to drill down into a large amount of log data, we often feel like loosing both overview _and_ detail.

It might very well be that we are to blame, and that we are just doing it wrong (tm) - but I would love to hear how other people are leveraging the ELK stack in production environments?
