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.

Looking at forecast results

Now that we have run a forecast, we can look in more depth at the results that are generated by the forecasting process. We can view the results of a previously created forecast at any time in the UI via one of two methods. The first way is to click the Forecast button in Single Metric Viewer to reveal a list of previous forecasts, like so:

Alternatively, you can view them in the Job Management page under the Forecasts tab for that job, as illustrated in the following screenshot:

Note

Forecast results built in Kibana have a default lifespan of 14 days. After that, the forecast results are deleted permanently. If a different expiration duration is desired, then the forecast will have to be invoked via the _forecast API endpoint, which...
