Brighter Connect’s ELK Stack course makes you an expert in ELK such that you can run and operate your own search cluster using Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana. You will gain proficiency to use Logstash to load data into Elasticsearch, run various search operation and do data visualization with the help of Kibana.

Curriculum

Introduction:
Alice is a support engineer working in TS foundation, which is a software developing company. One of its feature is enabling single sign-on for its applications.

ALICES’ DAY TO DAY CHALLENGES:
Her task is to help the customers, and troubleshoot issues when needed. Whenever there’s a ticket for an issue, the first place she checks in, is the logs in the designated servers. She keeps searching and searching for related words or keyword match. Meanwhile there is change in logs every minute, and this is making her search, more and more hectic.
How can we help her?

SOLUTION:
Well this is where ELK stack comes into the picture
ELK comes with elastic search, logstash and kibana stacked altogether to give her a full analytics system.

Elastic Search enables her to search logs easily and get to know the issue and resolve it in a faster manner; not only that she can get proactive by analyzing the logs, and see if any of those customers are facing any issues or failures.
Now she can log into Kibana and search for relevant keywords easily. She can even limit the research by using timestamp filter. Monitoring single sign-on activities can be easily done by using different visualization graphs on the dashboards

Goal: Let’s help Alice by introducing ELK stack to her, and helping her in understanding the core concepts and the technology behind it. This will help her in learning ELK architecture and various implementation of ELK stack in companies.

Objectives: Upon completing this lesson, you should be able to:
  • Introduce ELK stack
  • Learn about Architecture of ELK stack
  • Understand various ELK terminology
  • Learn the basics of Elastic Search, Logstash and Kibana
  • Understand ELK stack use case
Topics:
  • Introduction to ELK stack
  • Why ELK?
  • Architecture of ELK
  • High level overview of
  • Elastic Search
  • Logstash
  • Kibana

Goal: Alice has learnt to the basic concepts of ELK stack. Now what if she has to work with new sets of inputs, let’s help her with the another component of ELK stack, logstash. This module will give her a basic introduction to Logstash and guide through the process of installing Logstash and verifying that everything is running properly. After learning how to stash your first event, you can go on to create a more advanced pipeline that takes Apache web logs as input, parses the logs, and writes the parsed data to an Elasticsearch cluster. Then you learn how to stitch together multiple input and output plugins to unify data from a variety of disparate sources.

Objectives: At the end of this module, you should be able to:

  • Install and verify running of Logstash on your machine
  • Learn to stash first event
  • Create a more advanced pipeline that takes Apache web logs as input, parses the logs, and writes the parsed data to an Elasticsearch cluster.

    Objectives: At the end of this module, you should be able to:

    • Enable Multi Value tags, Numbers, and Full text
    • Retrieve the full details of any employee
    • Perform Structured search
    • Learn about full-text search
    • Return highlighted search snippets

  • Goal: Alice seemed excited and she is curious about learning searching in depth. She wants to explore more about Elastic Search. She understood its not just enough to use the match query. She needs to understand the data and run search query through it. This module explains her, how to index and query your data to allow her to take advantage of word proximity, partial matching, fuzzy matching, and language awareness.

    Objectives: At the end of this module, you should be able to:

    • Perform Structured Search using Elastic search
    • Deploy and understand full text search query

    • Partial Matching

    Hands On:
    Above all topics are hands-on intensive

    Goal: Alice learned and performed various searching queries and was satisfied with it, when she suddenly realised a problem. Her query was not able to remove distinction between singular and plural words, or between tenses. She even faced problem with typos and various other problem. Let’s help Alice in solving her issues by training her on how to deal with human language for improving performance.

    Objectives: At the end of this module you will be able to:

    • Remove diacritics like ´, ^, and ¨ so that a search for rôle will also match role, and vice versa using Normalising Tokens.
    • Remove the distinction between singular and plural—fox versus foxes—or between tenses—jumping versus jumped versus jumps—by stemming each word to its root form in Reducing Words to Their Root Form.
    • Remove commonly used words or stopwords like the, and, and or to improve search performance in Stopwords: Performance Versus Precision.
    • Including synonyms so that a query for quick could also match fast, or UK could match United Kingdom with the help of Synonyms.
    • Check for misspellings or alternate spellings, or match on homophones—words that sound the same, like their versus there, meat versus meet versus mete using Typos and Misspellings.

    Topics:

    • Getting Started with languages
    • Identifying Words
    • Normalising Tokens
    • Reducing Words to their Root Form

    • Synonyms
    • Typos and Misspellings

    Hands On:
    Above all topics are hands-on intensive

    Goal: Alice leaned all about how to search through her data, now once data is searched she needs to get a higher-level overview of the dataset and perform queries on it to get her answers in near-real time. This has made her task very tedious and tiring. Let’s ease her problem by training her with aggregation.

    Aggregations will allow her to ask sophisticated questions of her data in near real time. With search, we have a query and we want to find a subset of documents that match the query. We are looking for the needle(s) in the haystack.

    With aggregations, we zoom out to get an overview of our data. Instead of looking for individual documents, we want to analyse and summarise our complete set of data:

    Objectives: At the end of this module you will be able to:

    • Understand the concepts of buckets and metrics

    Hands On:
    Above all topics are hands-on intensive

    Goal: Alice was well-versed in working with SQL she thought that for handling relationships, the golden rule of relational database- normalise your data will be applicable in Elastic Search too. But as a matter of fact, this golden rule does not apply to Elastic Search. Joining entities at query time is expensive—the more joins that are required, the more expensive the query. Performing joins between entities that live on different hardware is so expensive that it is just not practical. In this module let’s discover how data is modelled in Elastic Search.

    Objectives: At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

    • Compare Elasticsearch with RDBMS
    • Get the best search result by learning Denormalizing Data
