Overview of this book

Learn how to make the most of the Elastic Stack (ELK Stack) products—including Elasticsearch, Kibana, Elastic Agent, and Logstash—to take data reliably and securely from any source, in any format, and then search, analyze, and visualize it in real-time. This cookbook takes a practical approach to unlocking the full potential of Elastic Stack through detailed recipes step by step. Starting with installing and ingesting data using Elastic Agent and Beats, this book guides you through data transformation and enrichment with various Elastic components and explores the latest advancements in search applications, including semantic search and Generative AI. You'll then visualize and explore your data and create dashboards using Kibana. As you progress, you'll advance your skills with machine learning for data science, get to grips with natural language processing, and discover the power of vector search.

Timestamped Data Ingestion

The Elastic Stack provides many ways for ingesting timestamped data. In this chapter, we’re going to focus on two of them: Elastic Agent and Beats. Elastic Agent acts as an integrated solution for monitoring a variety of data types on each host, including logs and metrics. It additionally safeguards hosts against security risks and enables querying of operating system data. Elastic Agent can also be centrally managed by leveraging Fleet. Meanwhile, Beats have been around for a long time and are lightweight data shippers that transmit operational data to Elasticsearch. Depending on what data you want to collect, you may need to install multiple Beats shippers on a single host.

Figure 4.1 presents a decision tree to help you select the optimal ingestion strategy:
