The Elastic Stack Study Notes & guide explores the Elastic Stack (ELK), an open-source suite that includes Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, and Beats, used primarily for data ingestion, storage, analysis, and visualization. It is highly valuable for data analysts, security engineers, and operations teams to manage real-time logs and metrics.
The ELK Stack is a robust platform for managing and analyzing large-scale, real-time data. It starts with Elasticsearch for storage and search capabilities, Logstash or Beats for data ingestion, and Kibana for visualization. Security engineers focus on integrating log data from devices and using KQL for investigation.
Data analysts load and analyze datasets with customized index templates. The guide offers detailed installation instructions for multiple OS and methods (Docker, Linux, Windows), describes architecture including nodes and clusters, and contrasts data ingestion methods (Beats vs. Logstash). Advanced Kibana features include dashboards, Canvas, maps, and alerting. Finally, it provides cyber investigation use-cases like brute-force detection and phishing analysis using KQL queries and visual tools.
