Overview of this book

Elastic Stack, previously known as the ELK stack, is a log analysis solution that helps users ingest, process, and analyze search data effectively. With the addition of machine learning, a key commercial feature, the Elastic Stack makes this process even more efficient. This updated second edition of Machine Learning with the Elastic Stack provides a comprehensive overview of Elastic Stack's machine learning features for both time series data analysis as well as for classification, regression, and outlier detection. The book starts by explaining machine learning concepts in an intuitive way. You'll then perform time series analysis on different types of data, such as log files, network flows, application metrics, and financial data. As you progress through the chapters, you'll deploy machine learning within Elastic Stack for logging, security, and metrics. Finally, you'll discover how data frame analysis opens up a whole new set of use cases that machine learning can help you with. By the end of this Elastic Stack book, you'll have hands-on machine learning and Elastic Stack experience, along with the knowledge you need to incorporate machine learning in your distributed search and data analysis platform.

Managing Elastic ML via the API

As with just about everything in the Elastic Stack, ML can also be completely automated via API calls—including job configuration, execution, and result gathering. Actually, all interactions you have in the Kibana UI leverage the ML API behind the scenes. You could, for example, completely write your own UI if there were specific workflows or visualizations that you wanted.

Note

For more in-depth information about the anomaly detection APIs, please refer to elastic.co/guide/en/machine-learning/current/ml-api-quickref.html. The data frame analytics part of Elastic ML has a completely separate API, which will be discussed in Chapters 9 to 13.

We won't go into each API call, but we would like to highlight some parts that are worth a detour.

The obvious first API to mention is the job creation API, which allows the creation of the ML job configuration. For example, if you wanted to recreate the population analysis job shown in Figure...
