Book Description
Learn how to make the most of the Elastic Stack (ELK Stack) productsâincluding Elasticsearch, Kibana, Elastic Agent, and Logstashâto 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. The book covers Elastic Observability use cases for log, infrastructure, and synthetics monitoring, along with essential strategies for securing the Elastic Stack. Finally, you'll gain expertise in Elastic Stack operations to effectively monitor and manage your system.What you will learn
