Overview of this book

Elastic Stack, previously known as the ELK stack, is a log analysis solution that helps users ingest, process, and analyze search data effectively. With the addition of machine learning, a key commercial feature, the Elastic Stack makes this process even more efficient. This updated second edition of Machine Learning with the Elastic Stack provides a comprehensive overview of Elastic Stack's machine learning features for both time series data analysis as well as for classification, regression, and outlier detection. The book starts by explaining machine learning concepts in an intuitive way. You'll then perform time series analysis on different types of data, such as log files, network flows, application metrics, and financial data. As you progress through the chapters, you'll deploy machine learning within Elastic Stack for logging, security, and metrics. Finally, you'll discover how data frame analysis opens up a whole new set of use cases that machine learning can help you with. By the end of this Elastic Stack book, you'll have hands-on machine learning and Elastic Stack experience, along with the knowledge you need to incorporate machine learning in your distributed search and data analysis platform.

Chapter 8: Anomaly Detection in Other Elastic Stack Apps

When the first edition of this book was authored two years ago, there was no concept of other apps within the stack leveraging Elastic ML for domain-specific solutions. However, since then, Elastic ML has become a provider of anomaly detection for domain-specific solutions, providing tailor-made job configurations that users can enable with a single click.

In this chapter, we will explore what Elastic ML brings to various Elastic Stack apps:

  • Anomaly detection in Elastic APM
  • Anomaly detection in the Logs app
  • Anomaly detection in the Metrics app
  • Anomaly detection in the Uptime app
  • Anomaly detection in the Elastic Security app
