It's not a drop-in replacement in general, but it can be seen as a drop-in replacement for Elasticsearch in the ELK stack because:
- You can send data to Manticore using Logstash (L)
- You can visualize the data using Kibana (K)
That is the most bullshit thing I’ve read in a while.
Send data to manticore via logstash does not make you an elasticsearch replacement. And a lot of elasticsearch use cases are not using kibana.
(Logstash can basically ingest and output to everything…)
Sorry for the confusion :)
