Data Processing with Logstash (and Filebeat) (Udemy.com)

Again, I followed your great course. As usual, you clearly present and pronounce the content, which provides a deep learning experience. However, this time it was sometimes challenging to recap or use the Logstash product with the current version while following along with the training content, as some of it is a bit outdated. An update would be very welcome.

We all know that the course unfortunately is not up to date with the newer versions of Logstash, Elasticsearch and Kibana, so if you'll follow along it will be harder to fix and adapt all the things that will not work. However if you take this as a challenge, it will be a great exercise, and Bo's content is as usual very very good. To make the most of the course, I'd recommend to take Bo's two other courses first: Elasticsearch and Kibana. I'd like to thank Bo for his three courses, I loved following all of them and I think they are the best courses on the Elastic Stack.

The course is good, however you get a point where it is very difficult to follow. Everything is made over an IDE and you get lost, you must remember too many things. I think it would be better with more explanations with graphics and pictures. Again, when reaching the end of the course you are completelly lost. All the course is focused on Apache event logs, this makes the course very specific...may be it should be a bit more general

i learnt a great deal about Logstash & filebeat & Bo is definitely an Elasticsearch SME 3 recommendations from me: * the course definitely need to be updated as LS & FB have released new features & a few things within the course have become outdated * it will be best to walk students through on setting up POSTMAN * it will be good to add a section on installing configuring Elasticsearch so we can view these fields we're manipulating within discovery rather than only being limited to the stdout option which will make the course complete IMO

The course contains many useful and practical examples of logstash and filebeat configuration implementation and practical use cases. I didn't know anything about ELK before, and after learning it in a week, I set up and started up my first production ELK stack. Without the knowledge from this course, it would not be that easy. I recommend it a lot. Thank you Bo!

The course is quite a bit more difficult than the Kibana course by Bo. He is clearly an expert in the subject matter. But the content is dense and it moves very fast. It requires some substantial knowledge of Grok and other things. So I view it as reference material rather than a simple how to. I will have to return to it in real life to review how he does things and why.

The course is quite detailed and with the examples provided, understanding is highly improved. The ELK itself is a bit of low level (Log File based) configuration, thus it can get pretty complicated to understand. The only issue you might encounter, is that some lectures refer to previous versions, so you will need to adjust the terminology to what u actually see.

After beating my head trying to understand and configure logstash for a particular project and failing, I went through this course. Not only is the course thorough, it provides a great insight into how things really work. Having gone through this course, I am now confidentally able to configure for not only the project that I was working on, but for upcoming projects as well. Thank you, Bo, for putting the time in to learn and more importantly to explain it to the rest of us. This was a wonderful course and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bo knows this stuff inside and out and will give you the reasons of why one approach is different than the other, as well as , recommendations on which to choose when available. I've already used this information to solve an issue at work with pipelines. If you are really interested in learning Logstash standalone and Logstash with Filebeat, you need to check this course out!! Highly Recommended!! Expect to learn when you learn from a Master!

I usually don't write reviews when I have a good experience. But in this case, I am not just clicking on the button to rate the course, but would also like to state that Bo Andersen is a phenomenal teacher. He starts from the simplest concepts all the up to the most complex use cases and he makes it easy for you to understand that follow-through. I would recommend this course to anyone that's serious about learning Logstash and Filebeat. Thank you Bo!
