Getting started with the Elastic Stackedit

Looking for an Elastic Stack ("ELK") guide that shows how to quickly install and configure the Elastic Stack? You’re in the right place! You can install the Elastic Stack on a single VM, or even on your laptop:

Logstash adds powerful data parsing and transformation features, but usually isn’t required. To get started with Logstash, see Getting Started with Logstash.

After completing the installation process, learn how to implement a system monitoring solution that uses Metricbeat to collect server metrics and ship the data to Elasticsearch. Then use Kibana to search and visualize the data.

Implementing security is a critical step in configuring the Elastic Stack. This guide skips security configuration to quickly install a sample installation. Before sending sensitive data across the network, secure the Elastic Stack and enable encrypted communications.

Before you beginedit

Install Elasticsearchedit

Elasticsearch is a real-time, distributed storage, search, and analytics engine. It can be used for many purposes, but one context where it excels is indexing streams of semi-structured data, such as logs or decoded network packets.

You can run Elasticsearch on your own hardware, or use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud. The Elasticsearch Service is available on both AWS and GCP. Try out the Elasticsearch Service for free.

To download and install Elasticsearch, open a terminal window and use the commands that work with your system (deb for Debian/Ubuntu, rpm for Redhat/Centos/Fedora, mac or brew for OS X, linux for Linux, and win for Windows):

deb:

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.8.1-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.8.1-amd64.deb
sudo /etc/init.d/elasticsearch start

rpm:

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.8.1-x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -i elasticsearch-7.8.1-x86_64.rpm
sudo service elasticsearch start

mac:

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.8.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xzvf elasticsearch-7.8.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
cd elasticsearch-7.8.1
./bin/elasticsearch

brew:

brew tap elastic/tap
brew install elastic/tap/elasticsearch-full
elasticsearch

linux:

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xzvf elasticsearch-7.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd elasticsearch-7.8.1
./bin/elasticsearch

win:

  1. Download the Elasticsearch 7.8.1 Windows zip file from the Elasticsearch download page.
  2. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your computer, for example, C:\Program Files.
  3. Open a command prompt as an Administrator and navigate to the directory that contains the extracted files, for example:

    cd C:\Program Files\elasticsearch-7.8.1
  4. Start Elasticsearch:

    bin\elasticsearch.bat

For other operating systems, go to the Elasticsearch download page.

The default cluster.name and node.name are elasticsearch and your hostname, respectively. If you plan to keep using this cluster or add more nodes, it is a good idea to change these default values to unique names. For details about changing these and other settings in the elasticsearch.yml file, see Configuring Elasticsearch.

To learn more about installing, configuring, and running Elasticsearch, read the Elasticsearch Reference.

Make sure Elasticsearch is up and runningedit

To test that the Elasticsearch daemon is up and running, try sending an HTTP GET request on port 9200.

curl http://127.0.0.1:9200

On Windows, if you don’t have cURL installed, point your browser to the URL.

You should see a response similar to this:

{
  "name" : "QtI5dUu",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "cluster_uuid" : "DMXhqzzjTGqEtDlkaMOzlA",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "7.8.1",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "tar",
    "build_hash" : "00d8bc1",
    "build_date" : "2018-06-06T16:48:02.249996Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "7.3.1",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "5.6.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "5.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

Install Kibanaedit

Kibana is an open source analytics and visualization platform designed to work with Elasticsearch. You use Kibana to search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch indices. You can easily perform advanced data analysis and visualize your data in a variety of charts, tables, and maps.

Running our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud? Kibana is enabled automatically in most templates, or manually with the flick of a switch.

We recommend that you install Kibana on the same server as Elasticsearch, but it is not required. If you install the products on different servers, you’ll need to change the URL (IP:PORT) of the Elasticsearch server in the Kibana configuration file, kibana.yml, before starting Kibana.

To download and install Kibana, open a terminal window and use the commands that work with your system:

deb, rpm, or linux:

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-7.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzvf kibana-7.8.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd kibana-7.8.1-linux-x86_64/
./bin/kibana

mac:

curl -L -O https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-7.8.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xzvf kibana-7.8.1-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz
cd kibana-7.8.1-darwin-x86_64/
./bin/kibana

brew:

brew tap elastic/tap
brew install elastic/tap/kibana-full
kibana

win:

  1. Download the Kibana 7.8.1 Windows zip file from the Kibana download page.
  2. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your computer, for example, C:\Program Files.
  3. Open a command prompt as an Administrator and navigate to the directory that contains the extracted files, for example:

    cd C:\Program Files\kibana-7.8.1-windows
  4. Start Kibana:

    bin\kibana.bat

For other operating systems, go to the Kibana download page.

To learn more about installing, configuring, and running Kibana, read the Kibana Reference.

Launch the Kibana web interfaceedit

To launch the Kibana web interface, point your browser to port 5601. For example, http://127.0.0.1:5601.

Install Beatsedit

The Beats are open source data shippers that you install as agents on your servers to send operational data to Elasticsearch. Beats can send data directly to Elasticsearch or via Logstash, where you can further process and enhance the data.

Each Beat is a separately installable product. In this guide, you learn how to install and run Metricbeat with the system module enabled to collect system metrics.

win:

  1. Download the Metricbeat Windows zip file from the Metricbeat download page.
  2. Extract the contents of the zip file into C:\Program Files.
  3. Rename the metricbeat-7.8.1-windows directory to Metricbeat.
  4. Open a PowerShell prompt as an Administrator (right-click the PowerShell icon and select Run As Administrator).
  5. From the PowerShell prompt, run the following commands to install Metricbeat as a Windows service:

    PS > cd 'C:\Program Files\Metricbeat'
    PS C:\Program Files\Metricbeat> .\install-service-metricbeat.ps1

    If script execution is disabled on your system, set the execution policy for the current session to allow the script to run. For example: PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -File .\install-service-metricbeat.ps1.

For other operating systems, go to the Beats download page.

Ship system metrics to Elasticsearchedit

Metricbeat provides pre-built modules that you can use to rapidly implement and deploy a system monitoring solution, complete with sample dashboards and data visualizations, in about 5 minutes.

In this section, you learn how to run the system module to collect metrics from the operating system and services running on your server. The system module collects system-level metrics, such as CPU usage, memory, file system, disk IO, and network IO statistics, as well as top-like statistics for every process running on your system.

Before you begin: Verify that Elasticsearch and Kibana are running and that Elasticsearch is ready to receive data from Metricbeat.

To set up the system module and start collecting system metrics:

  1. From the Metricbeat install directory, enable the system module:

    deb and rpm:

    sudo metricbeat modules enable system

    mac and linux:

    ./metricbeat modules enable system

    brew:

    metricbeat modules enable system

    win:

    PS C:\Program Files\Metricbeat> .\metricbeat.exe modules enable system
  2. Set up the initial environment:

    deb and rpm:

    sudo metricbeat setup -e

    mac and linux:

    ./metricbeat setup -e

    brew:

    metricbeat setup -e

    win:

    PS C:\Program Files\Metricbeat> metricbeat.exe setup -e

    The setup command loads the Kibana dashboards. If the dashboards are already set up, omit this command. The -e flag is optional and sends output to standard error instead of syslog.

  3. Start Metricbeat:

    deb and rpm:

    sudo service metricbeat start

    mac and linux:

    ./metricbeat -e

    brew:

    metricbeat -e

    win:

    PS C:\Program Files\Metricbeat> Start-Service metricbeat

Metricbeat runs and starts sending system metrics to Elasticsearch.

Visualize system metrics in Kibanaedit

To visualize system metrics, open your browser and navigate to the Metricbeat system overview dashboard: http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dashboard/Metricbeat-system-overview-ecs

If you don’t see data in Kibana, try changing the date range to a larger range. By default, Kibana shows the last 15 minutes. If you see errors, make sure Metricbeat is running, then refresh the page.

 

Click Host Overview to see detailed metrics about the selected host.
