Overview of this book

The Elastic Stack helps you work with massive volumes of data to power use cases in the search, observability, and security solution areas. This three-part book starts with an introduction to the Elastic Stack with high-level commentary on the solutions the stack can be leveraged for. The second section focuses on each core component, giving you a detailed understanding of the component and the role it plays. You’ll start by working with Elasticsearch to ingest, search, analyze, and store data for your use cases. Next, you’ll look at Logstash, Beats, and Elastic Agent as components that can collect, transform, and load data. Later chapters help you use Kibana as an interface to consume Elastic solutions and interact with data on Elasticsearch. The last section explores the three main use cases offered on top of the Elastic Stack. You’ll start with a full-text search and look at real-world outcomes powered by search capabilities. Furthermore, you’ll learn how the stack can be used to monitor and observe large and complex IT environments. Finally, you’ll understand how to detect, prevent, and respond to security threats across your environment. The book ends by highlighting architecture best practices for successful Elastic Stack deployments. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to implement the Elastic Stack and derive value from it.

Chapter 4: Leveraging Insights and Managing Data on Elasticsearch

In the previous chapter, we looked at getting data into an Elasticsearch cluster and running searches to return relevant results for our application. This chapter will focus on how this data can be leveraged to gain analytical insights. We will also look at some important features that help with manipulating, transforming, and managing data sources when building your use cases.

Specifically, we will focus on the following topics:

  • Aggregating data for analytical insights
  • Managing the life cycle of time series data
  • Manipulating data using ingest pipelines
  • Responding to changes in data with Watcher
