Machine Learning with the Elastic Stack

By: Rich Collier, Bahaaldine Azarmi

Overview of this book

Machine Learning with the Elastic Stack is a comprehensive overview of the embedded commercial features of anomaly detection and forecasting. The book starts with installing and setting up Elastic Stack. You will perform time series analysis on varied kinds of data, such as log files, network flows, application metrics, and financial data. As you progress through the chapters, you will deploy machine learning within the Elastic Stack for logging, security, and metrics. In the concluding chapters, you will see how machine learning jobs can be automatically distributed and managed across the Elasticsearch cluster and made resilient to failure. By the end of this book, you will understand the performance aspects of incorporating machine learning within the Elastic ecosystem and create anomaly detection jobs and view results from Kibana directly.

Preface

Data analysis, manual charting, thresholding, and alerting have been an inherent part of IT and security operations for decades. Until the advent of sophisticated machine learning algorithms and techniques, much of the burden of proactive insight, problem detection, and root cause analysis fell onto the shoulders of the analysts. As the complexity and scale of modern applications and infrastructure has grown exponentially, it is apparent that humans need help. Elastic machine learning (ML) is an effective, easy-to-use solution for anomaly detection and forecasting use cases in relation to time-series machine data. This definitive elastic ML guide will get the reader proficient in the operation and techniques of advanced analytics without the need to be well-versed in data science.
