Otherwise known as “ELK stack”, these tools work together to manage, search, and visualize data.
- Elasticsearch: search engine used for storing and indexing data
- Logstash: data processing pipeline that collects, transforms, and sends data to Elasticsearch
- Kibana: provides data visualizations that can be grouped in dashboards to help users understand the data
This page documents my adventure into ELK and running it in my homelab.
