ELK Stack

The ELK Stack is a collection of three open-source products - Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana - that are used together. Elasticsearch is a NoSQL database based on Lucene, Logstash is a log pipeline tool, and Kibana provides data visualization. The components interact to form a classic architecture where logs are input to Logstash, processed, and exported to Elasticsearch for storage and visualization in Kibana. The ELK Stack can be installed locally or in the cloud using options like Docker, Ansible, Puppet, or Chef.

What is the ELK Stack?

The ELK Stack is a collection of three open-source products — Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana — all
developed, managed and maintained by Elastic.

✓ Elasticsearch is a NoSQL database that is based on the Lucene search engine.


✓ Logstash is a log pipeline tool that accepts inputs from various sources, executes different
transformations, and exports the data to various targets.
✓ Kibana is a visualization layer that works on top of Elasticsearch.

ELK Stack Architecture

The various components in the ELK Stack were designed to interact and play nicely with each other
without too much extra configuration. However, how you end up constructing the stack greatly depends
on the environment and specific use case in question. For a small-sized development environment, the
classic architecture will look as follows:

The ELK Stack can be installed using a variety of methods and on a wide array of different operating
systems and environments. ELK can be installed locally, on the cloud, using Docker and configuration
management systems like Ansible, Puppet, and Chef.
