ELK Stack AMI

This is repackaged software with additional charges for 24/7 support and guaranteed 24hr response SLA.

ELK Stack Overview

The Elastic Stack (ELK) is the industry-leading platform for search, logging, and analytics. Elasticsearch provides distributed full-text search and real-time analytics. Logstash ingests, transforms, and ships data from any source. Kibana visualizes data through interactive dashboards and charts. Collect logs from applications, servers, containers. Search petabytes in milliseconds. Monitor infrastructure and applications. Open source Elastic platform.
