Practical Full ELK Stack: Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash

About Practical Full ELK Stack: Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash

Welcome to Full ELK Stack Bootcamp!

This bootcamp is designed for any developer and IT admin who want to deploy Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash, and develop application based Elasticsearch.

This bootcamp focuses deploying and developing for ELK stack. The bootcamp consists of the following topics:

Installing Elasticsearch and Kibana on Windows, Linux and macOS

Accessing Elasticsearch REST API

Elasticsearch Document REST API Development

Collecting Data with Logstash

Data Visualization with Kibana

Collecting Data with Beats

High Availability (HA) for Elasticsearch and Kibana

Firstly, we learn how to install Elasticsearch and Kibana on Windows, Linux and macOS so you will have experiences on various platform for installation process.

Next, we learn a basic Elasticsearch REST API. This is an important thing to understand how to access Elasticsearch server from REST API requests.

We also learn how to collect data from file and database using Logstash. Another method to collect data is using Beats. We use Beat services such as Filebeat, Winlogbeat, Metricbeat, Packetbeat, Heartbeat and Auditbeat on Windows Server and Ubuntu Server.

Elasticsearch provides API SDK in order to build applications with Elasticsearch as database. Elasticsearch could be NoSQL database. In this bootcamp, we build application using PHP, ASP.NET Core, Node.js and Python.

After collected data, we can visualize the data using Kibana. We explore some charts and create dashboard on Kibana.

Last, we deploy Elasticsearch and Kibana for high availability scenario. For demo, we use three Elasticsearch servers and two Kibana servers. We also implement a load balancer using Nginx.
