[AusNOG] NOC Software

Tue Aug 12 10:36:44 EST 2014

Logstash is just the log processing engine which can insert data into a 
variety of storage engines, but which ElasticSearch is the most common.  
Kibana is a web interface for visualizing the log data.  You can 
download a complete JAR file from the logstash site which includes a 
basic elasticsearch setup, kibana and a simple web server, but you'll 
find that this setup won't scale nicely.  When you start throwing a 
decent amount of data at ElasticSearch, you'll want to have a proper 
cluster set up.

Best,

Gary
