Selected Application Areas of the Elastic Stack
The Elastic Stack offers a central storage location within the framework of log management for all log and trace files. At this central location, the information can not only be stored, but also evaluated as part of log file analysis and linked to further information. This makes it possible to identify problems or security incidents in the system operation.
Host, container, cloud and application metrics such as performance or state values can be stored in the Elastic database using Metric Beat. Using dashboards or via ad-hoc queries, you can perform an evaluation of infrastructure and cloud metrics.
Starting with Elastic Stack version 7.2, SIEM functionality is provided in the free version. Using the Security Information and Event Management System, you let Elastic analyze data streams from logs and metrics in the background and receive an alert as soon as security breaches are detected.
