Overview of this book
This course equips you with the skills to use the EFK stack—Elasticsearch, Fluent Bit, and Kibana—for enterprise-grade logging and monitoring. You’ll begin with Elasticsearch fundamentals, exploring nodes, clusters, and its role in search and analytics. Then, you’ll dive into Kibana, learning to build dashboards, create drilldowns, and query data using Kibana Query Language (KQL). The course also introduces Fluent Bit, comparing it to tools like FluentD and Logstash.
You’ll gain hands-on experience deploying Elasticsearch and Kibana on Kubernetes, preparing your system for scalable production environments. Practical projects guide you through instrumenting applications, collecting logs with Fluent Bit, and building dashboards in Kibana to visualize the data. You’ll also deploy an e-commerce app on Kubernetes and monitor logs in real-time.
Finally, you’ll explore Elastic Cloud, setting up a free account and using Elastic Agent to monitor Kubernetes clusters. Whether you’re a developer, system administrator, or IT professional, this course will equip you to implement enterprise-level logging and monitoring solutions for modern applications.
