ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana)

ELK is the acronym for three open-source projects: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Elasticsearch is a search and analytics engine. Logstash is a server-side data processing pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a "stash" like Elasticsearch. Kibana lets users visualize data with charts and graphs in Elasticsearch. ELK is distributed, RESTful, and offers a JSON-based search engine. It is easily scalable and provides easy ways to ingest data and visualize them.

We provide an example repository for setting up ELK on Github.
