The Portland Elastic meetup is back! We've got a few members of the Elastic monitoring team in town for Monitorama, and they wanted to come meet the local community. As usual, we'll provide food and drinks, as well as have a great talk or two.

Rough agenda:

6–6:30 pm: Arrive, grab food, chat with folks

7:10 pm: Introduction to Elastic’s Machine Learning

7:30–8:30: More chatting, eating, hanging out

Talks:

How to use X-Pack Monitoring to effectively monitor Elasticsearch

This talk and demo will focus on how to understand the health of your clusters, how to improve your monitoring setup, and how to better read your system — with X-Pack Monitoring (available under X-Pack's free license).

Introduction to Elastic’s Machine Learning

In this talk, Bohyun will go over the new Machine Learning capability in the Elastic Stack as well as other exciting updates on the latest release of Elastic Stack 5.4

Presenters:

Chris Earle is the Monitoring Lead at Elastic, helping to guide the X-Pack Monitoring team to bigger and better places. He started at Elastic as a Support Engineer back when it was called Elasticsearch, which helped him to gain a lot of awareness across the entire Elastic Stack.

Bohyun Kim is a Sr. Product Manager at Elastic. Prior to joining Elastic, she was a product manager at Tamr and a lead software engineer at HPE Vertica where she focused on resource and system management, monitoring and alerting of Vertica Analytic database. Bohyun is passionate about data analytics, machine learning and mentoring young females in the technical field.

Please note: We're testing out the WeWork space for the meetup, and they ask that we give first name, last name, and email address of attendees (and have promised they will use this for a single email offering a tour of the space, and nothing else).
