ELK : A Killer Solution for Log Analysis

-

 

Introduction


Overview


Installation

One of the ways of installing ELK stack, as per my personal preference is not to use the Installer Wizard, rather download the corresponding zip from ElasticSearch and start the services via command line

Elastic Search: Download the latest version.

Logstash: Download the latest version.

Kibana: Download the latest version.

Filebeat: Download the latest version.

For Logstash, Kibana, and Filebeat the configuration file plays an important role and the input & output should be provided for Logstash and Filebeat. And for Kibana, the elastic search cluster details to which it should be listening.

Once successfully started these applications as service, navigate to 

  • http://localhost:9200 for fetching the elastic search cluster details.
  • http://localhost:5601 for viewing the Kibana.

First Run


For configuring ELK Stack for the below flow diagram:



Use the configure files as per my Github project: ELK

Documentation Approach : Enterprise Management

Well, I am a big fan of documentation and the reason for the same is not because I know a lot, the reason for the same is that I don't know a lot! Fact ! There are a lot of misconceptions that Agile Methodology is against Documentation. Working software over comprehensive documentation The above statement in Agile Manifesto states the importance of documentation in a project, but the real interception of the statement is often described incorrectly. It means you should create documentation that provides value and at the same time does not hinder the team’s progress. Agile document requirements are user stories, which are sufficient for a software developer to begin the task of building a new function. Major advanatages of documentations are: A single source of truth saves time and energy. Determine what others need to know about the product/services provided by us. The hiring and onboarding process can be easier. Enables Revision Control and provides a proper process for updates. S...

Write your own code or do a copy paste !

Writing your own code or copying others' code? It's always the mix and match of these two methods Developers use! Well, it's not a crime to copy the code from StackOverflow or other forums and trying to implement an idea in your project. To get the best out of it, it's always best to understand the code that you see and try to implement it by understanding your requirements rather than blindly following it. Not always you will have the time and resources to start the code from scratch, and obviously, your first attempt to code logic will be the most effective. Accepting these facts, copying code is not such a bad idea, or at least getting inspiration from code. Cheatsheets are often helping hands for developers, and as the name says it's not "for cheating" but a one-stop for the commonly used commands and methodologies. One such cheatsheet repo that I found in GitHub is Cheatsheets  which is an awesome collection of tons for sheets.
