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.

Organizing data for better analysis

One of the nicest things about ingesting data via the Elastic Agent is that by default, the data collected is normalized using the Elastic Common Schema (ECS). ECS is an open source specification that defines a common taxonomy and naming conventions across data that is stored in the Elastic Stack. As such, the data becomes easier to manage, analyze, visualize, and correlate across disparate data types – including across both performance metrics and log files.

Even if you are not using the Elastic Agent or other legacy Elastic ingest tools (such as Beats and Logstash) and are instead relying on other, third-party data collection or ingest pipelines, it is still recommended that you conform your data to ECS because it will pay big dividends when users expect to use this data for queries, dashboards, and, of course, ML jobs.

Note

More information on ECS can be found in the reference section of the website at https://www.elastic.co/guide...
