Elastic-Kibana-Logstash [ELK]

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.
