ELK Stack or more recently called Elastic Stack, is a combination of three open source projects — Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana — all developed by Elastic and used for storing and analyzing logs. Before getting to know more about the ELK stack, we must have an idea about why we need to do log analysis.

The data that is transformed by Logstash is stored, searched, and indexed in Elasticsearch.

However, there is one more component — Beats — which collects the data and sends it to Logstash.

It is used to search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch directories and helps you to perform advanced data analysis and visualize your data in a variety of tables, charts, and maps.
