Elastic Common Schema. Logstash pipelines are frequently multipurpose and can
get advanced, making a solid comprehension of pipeline execution,
accessibility, and bottlenecks precious. With checking and pipeline viewer
features, you can undoubtedly watch and concentrate on a functioning Logstash node
or full deployment.
Beginning with Logstash
on AWS
To
make it simple for clients to run Elasticsearch and ingest information into it,
AWS offers Amazon Elasticsearch Service, a completely managed service that
conveys Elasticsearch with simple integration with Logstash. To begin,
essentially dispatch your Amazon Elasticsearch Service domain and start
stacking information from your Logstash server. You can try Logstash and Amazon
Elasticsearch Service for free using the AWS Free Tier.
