Elastic

The Elastic stack consists of the following components:

• Elastic Search - A fast search engine for analyzing and storing data
• Logstash - A data aggregator that transforms it and sends it to a storage engine
• Kibana - A presentation layer for the data
• Beats - Lightweight shippers for data
  • Filebeat - A shipper for logs

Note:

The Elastic Stack has other components that are missing from the previous list because this workshop has not covered them yet.
