Since the olden days, mankind has strived to use its limited attention span only on what really matters in life, and without having to look for it too hard – if possible. So we started with copying log files around, evolution brought us centralized (r)syslog and today (we learn from our mistakes) we have Logstash and Elasticsearch.
Elasticsearch is a distributed, open source search and analytics engine, designed for horizontal scalability, reliability, and easy management. It combines the speed of search with the power of analytics via a sophisticated, developer-friendly query language covering structured, unstructured, and time-series data.

With connectors to common infrastructure for easy integration, Logstash is designed to efficiently process a growing list of log, event, and unstructured data sources for distribution into a variety of outputs, including Elasticsearch. | ||
