WHAT IS LOGSTASH & ELK?
Logstash is a technology to collect logs then manipulate the input data and finally put into destination source like Elasticsearch. Logstash is a log aggregator that collects data from various input sources, executes different transformations and enhancements and then ships the data to various supported output destinations.
In recent years the term BigData has been gaining popularity. And there has been a paradigm shift in the volume of information and the ways in which it can be extracted from this data.
ELK is one of the few new-age frameworks which is capable of handling Big Data demands and scale. Over the years the ELK stack has become quite popular. And for a good reason. It is a very robust, mature and feature-rich framework. Logstash is the Heart of the ELK.

the indian accent is very strong which makes it difficult to understand and the subtitles (which I imagine are generated) are just hilarious :))

The content was really good to get a kick start in ELK stack, I like the way how this tutorial is focused on configuring and setting up complete ELK stack.

By Lucas W. Rasmussen on

The lessons has practical examples and exercises that I found helpful. Eg. parching logs. I liked the detailed "Beats" section of the course which gave me a good overview of their utility in Logtash. Don't expect to learn much about Kibana and Elasticsearch - but for a detailed well paced introduction to the utility of Logstash, I found the course helpful.

By David Rasmussen on

I like how this course simply focus on Logstash and the acompanying filters, beats etc. Most ELK courses spend little time on Logstash. I would recommend this if you are already taking another Elasticsearch or Kibana course and need deeper Logstash knowledge to complete the picture.

By Jonny Svendsen on

If your wanting to learn Logstash, this course is a great fit. Rajesh is a good instructor and he has been good at laying out the lessons in a logical manner. I liked how he had practical demonstrations immediately followed by an exercise with clear instruction for me to try parching logs myself.
