18:30 - 19:00 Overview of Elasticsearch and the ELK Stack, Aviv Berko
Elasticsearch is a powerful full-text-search indexing and analysis engine, which is often use to parse and analyze application logs. In this short session, we will explore fundamental ElasticSearch concepts and its integration with Logstash and Kibana to form the ELK stack.

19:00 - 20:00 Case Study: Building a Centralized Log System with ELK, Rostislav Aronov
Collecting logs and metrics from a distributed system running on a variety of servers is a non-trivial task. In this talk, we will discuss instrumentation strategies for getting logs and metrics from day one, and visualizing the collected data using the ELK stack. We will use PostSharp for log collection, ETW for offloading application logs, Beats, Logstash, Kibana, and many other components.
