Elasticsearch
The Open Source Enterprise search server
Elasticsearch is a distributed search and analytics server, which represents the core of the Elastic Stack. The communication between Elasticsearch and the service consumer is almost exclusively based on JSON via REST interface. This has the advantage that even smaller read and write operations can be tested and developed using CURL, without having to resort to a heavy-weight API.
Scaling
It then takes care of the redistribution of data and inquiries independently.
Performance
Since everything is indicated, boredom never arises. This means that all data can be retrieved and processed at tremendously high speed. And of course, the whole comes with a frantic fast full text search in the luggage.
Logstash
Flexible Log- and Eventmanagement
Logstash is an open source log management solution that specializes in channeling, filtering and distribution of log and event information. It supports a large number of input and output formats and thus integrates into almost any IT environment.
In short, Logstash is the open source solution for managing and analyzing log information and the tool of choice to address the increasing volume of information in an auditable manner. Logstash has a variety of input, filtering and output plug-ins. Thus all events and log messages available in your network can be received, processed and forwarded.
Integration
The integration of application logs is thus possible without further detours and requires no installation of additional third-party software.
input { stdin { } }
filter {
grok {
match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" }
}
date {
match => [ "timestamp" , "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z" ]
}
}
output {
elasticsearch { hosts => ["localhost:9200"] }
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}
Kibana
Your look in the Elastic Stack
Kibana visualizes and analyzes the data stored in Elasticsearch. Sophisticated filtering option allows the construction of dashboards for all data stored in Elasticsearch.
Working with Kibana is the real reward for the effort invested in collecting the log and event information in advance. The access to all stored information is very fast and no deeper knowledge of a query language like SQL is necessary.
Of course understanding the underlying intersections of the queried data is an advantage in order to get to the goal quickly, but even without it, visual viewing of the data is simply fun.
Beats
Collect, analyse and distribute
Beats is the platform to build lightweight data collectors for a variety of data types to enrich with Logstash, search and analyze in Elasticsearch, and visualize in Kibana.
If you are interested in log files, infrastructure metrics or network packages, Elastic Beats is a must.
Packetbeat
Packetbeat can be extended for any purpose with additional protocols and metrics.
Topbeat
Topbeat was developed as a lightweight way to gather CPU, memory and other system-wide data, and passes the data to Elasticsearch or Logstash.
Winlogbeat
The result is a lightweight solution for centrally storing Windows log data in Elasticsearch with the usual filtering and enrichment capabilities with Logstash.
Starterpaket
The simple beginning of something big
With our starter packs we want to simplify the entry into the log management with the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana) and offer a cost-effective way to get to know the open source system without first having to go into large financial inputs, such as commercial products often the case.
our experienced consultants will be there for 4 or 7 days, set up the system directly on site and provide the basics for further operation. The package is settled at a fixed price and there are no additional costs.
Elastic Stack Starterpaket Standard
- Joint workshop on log and event management
- Introduction to the components Logstash, Elasticsearch, Kibana and Beats
- Installation and basic configuration on customer hardware
- Exemplary integration of customer logs and evaluation with the help of Kibana
Elastic Stack Starterpaket Premium
- Elastic stack training (4 days for 3 participants – additional participants possible for an extra charge – 6 max.) *
- Joint workshop on log and event management
- Introduction to the components Logstash, Elasticsearch, Kibana and Redis
Installation and basic configuration on customer hardware - Exemplary integration of customer logs and evaluation with the help of Kibana
(including rental notebooks, training material and attendee certificates)
