The ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) is an open source centralized logging stack. However, it can do so much more. Any file or event can be sent to ELK and then searched using Kibana. ELK can easily be stood up on one system in a few minutes. If you can write something to STDOUT you can send to ELK for searching and storage. If you've ever needed to show or demonstrate findings from scripts or logs ELK can easily do it. I will go through the installation and configuration of ELK and Filebeats and then show some demos on how easy it is to get events into Elasticsearch as well as searching in Kibana. ELK can be set up in a very simple and easy manner but can also be extended to enrich data in a multitude of ways. You should be able to leave with all the knowledge you need to get started with your own ELK stack and some ideas on how to use it.
