Hands On Training : Log monitoring and analysis using ELK stack

ELK stack is a robust scalable solution to monitor multiple logs and events of huge software systems. It has the following components :

• Elasticsearch - For deep search and data analytics

• Logstash - For centralized logging, log enrichment and parsing

• Kibana - For powerful and beautiful data visualizations

In this session you'll get a general overview of the ELK stack along with a Hands-on session on analyzing and visualizing a log file from NASA webserver.
