What is ELK?
ELK or ElasticSearch, Logstash, and Kibana are the three open-source stacks for advanced data processing and visualization. ElasticSearch is a search and analytic engine. Logstash is a server-side data processing pipeline that stores data simultaneously from various sources. It sends them to a stash, such as ElasticSearch. Kibana lets the users view analytics with charts and graphs. Hence, any application, software, or website can aggregate and analyze its logs and creative visualization. It can perform infrastructure monitoring, troubleshooting, security check, and more. DataFlask offers the latest version of ELK- ELK 8.0.0, which was released in February 2022.
