Could someone provide an example use case?

The slides in this linked deck made it very clear: https://speakerdeck.com/kennysan/411-a-framework-for-managin...

TL;DR - it's for alerting on ELK, claimed to come with a better query language than both SPL and Elastic QueryDSL (for the use case at least), and a decent admin UI for managing the queries.

It would be interesting to compare with Yelp's ElastAlert project. That one is Python (for all the PHP haters) but it doesn't have a fancy UI.

I had to read through 2.5 pages of documentation to find one.

Looks like this wasn't ready to be released? The domain also just points to the github repo.

Seriously. Can someone please downvote this whole post? Is this the caliber of content we now have on the front page of HN?
