Switched for the centralized log management and better SIEM workflow. AlienVault's alert noise was unsustainable. LogRhythm's data pipeline is more robust.
But the operational overhead shifted. Now it's all about maintenance and tuning. The AI Engine is powerful but becomes a black box. You can't easily trace why a specific correlation triggered without deep diving into the Data Processor logs.
Example: a custom rule for anomalous outbound traffic volume.
```xml
sum
bytesOut
greaterThan
```
The rule works, but the "AI" adjustment of the threshold over time makes forensics difficult. Was it 100M or 150M when it fired? The console shows the adjusted value, not the configured baseline.
The other pain point is the dashboard latency. Building a real-time SLA/SLI dashboard from LogRhythm data requires heavy aggregation, which impacts the Data Indexer. You end up building external summaries anyway.
So it's a trade-off: less alert fatigue for more platform management. The pain is just more predictable.
