Important Elastic Search Curl Commands

Introduction To ELK Stack:


ELK is the abbreviation of Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. This has been known to be one of the most leading log-based management platform, which is used all over the world for log analysis.


Straight away into the ELK stack, the logstash has been extracting the logging data or full range of other events from various sources of input. It will be processing the events and hence, later on, will be storing them inside the Elasticsearch. In simple, we will be calling Kibana as a complete visualization tool, which will be accessing the logs straight from the Elasticsearch.
