The ELK Stack has millions of users globally due to its effectiveness for log management, SIEM, alerting, data analytics, e-commerce site search and data visualisation. The ELK Stack stands for the previously open-source tools Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (which were open-sourced up to and including version 7.10). The ELK Stack is the most popular solution for log management and analysis and is also known as the Elastic Stack (as of their rebrand, formally announced in October of 2016). In addition to log management, the ELK stack is used to solve an extensive array of cybersecurity, application performance and observability issues that arise from a lack of data visualisation and monitoring capabilities.

The most popular use case for the ELK Stack is for log management and analysis.
