📝 Agenda:

• 18:00 - Doors Open
• 18:20 - Talk #1 - Elastic Agent: Ingesting log files, how hard can it be?
  Denis Rechkunov, Principal Software Engineer at Elastic
  Abstract: Logs are the foundation of any observability solution, but to make them useful, they need to be ingested into a search index. One of the features provided by our Elastic Agent offering is to ingest log files into Elasticsearch so our customers can quickly navigate events in their systems. Reading files and sending data to Elasticsearch sounds simple, right? Not quite. In this talk we're going to dive deep into challenges associated with reading log files and sending them to Elasticsearch.
• 18:50 - Talk #2 Flexible Chatbots with Elasticsearch - Integrating Elasticsearch, Confluence, and LLMs
  Christoph Eder, Senior IT Consultant at EBCONT
  Abstract: In this talk, we'll show how we developed a flexible enterprise search solution using Elasticsearch — one that not only works in the cloud and with LLMs, but can also run on-premises and be easily combined with different LLMs.
• 19:20 - Pizza, drinks and networking
• 20:30 - Wrap up
