ELK > grep for searching. As the other poster said, per-field filtering and rapid pivoting is MUCH more effective workflow than greping for string fragments and hoping it matches on the proper field in a syslog message.

And you keep talking about how much you know and how ELK is literally worse than grep for searching off fields in logs for troubleshooting, but offer no alternative setups or use cases. You're hand-waving.

I've seen some of the performance issues of ELK at scale, and I'd be interested in what's out there, because its not my expertise. But you are just yelling "dataflow" and "streaming analytics".
