Network information like HTTP, DNS, and SIP let you keep a pulse on application latency and errors, response times, SLA performance, user access patterns and trends, and more. Tap into this data to understand how traffic is flowing through your network.

The key to detecting a threat can come from anywhere. So having a real-time picture of what's happening across your environment matters. Agent and Beats ingest myriad commercial and OSS sources of security data, enabling monitoring and detection at scale.

Whether you're testing a service from the same host or across the open web, Heartbeat makes it easy to generate uptime and response time data.

With File Data Visualizer, you can upload a CSV, NDJSON, or log file to an elasticsearch index. File Data Visualizer uses the file structure API to identify the file format and field mappings, after which you can choose to import the data into an index.

Use an ingest node to pre-process documents before the actual document indexing happens. The ingest node intercepts bulk and index requests, it applies transformations, and it then passes the documents back to the index or bulk APIs. Ingest node offers over 25 different processors, including append, convert, date, dissect, drop, fail, grok, join, remove, set, split, sort, trim, and more.

Analysis is the process of converting text, like the body of any email, into tokens or terms which are added to the inverted index for searching. Analysis is performed by an analyzer which can be either a built-in analyzer or a custom analyzer defined per index using a combination of tokenizers and filters.

A tokenizer receives a stream of characters, breaks it up into individual tokens (usually individual words), and outputs a stream of tokens. The tokenizer is also responsible for recording the order or position of each term (used for phrase and word proximity queries) and the start and end character offsets of the original word which the term represents (used for highlighting search snippets). elasticsearch has a number of built-in tokenizers which can be used to build custom analyzers.

Token filters accept a stream of tokens from a tokenizer and can modify tokens (e.g., lowercasing), delete tokens (e.g., remove stopwords), or add tokens (e.g., synonyms). elasticsearch has a number of built-in token filters which can be used to build custom analyzers.

Search in your own language. elasticsearch offers over 30 different language analyzers, including many languages with non-Latin character sets like Russian, Arabic, and Chinese.

A grok pattern is like a regular expression that supports aliased expressions that can be reused. Use grok to extract structured fields out of a single text field within a document. This tool is perfect for syslog logs, web server logs like Apache, MySQL logs, and any log format that is generally written for human rather than computer consumption.

If you use datafeeds, you can add scripts to transform your data before it is analyzed. Datafeeds contain an optional script_fields property, where you can specify scripts that evaluate custom expressions and return script fields. Using this functionality, you can perform a variety of transformations.

Enrich your log data on ingest with Logstash external lookup plugins. Easily supplement log lines and give them more context with information like client IP location, DNS lookup results, or even data from adjacent log lines. Logstash has a variety of lookup plugins to choose from.

The match ingest processor allows users to look up data at the time of ingestion and indicates the index from which to pull enriched data. This helps Beats users that need to add a few elements to their data — rather than pivoting from Beats to Logstash, users can consult the ingest pipeline directly. Users will also be able to normalize data with the processor for better analytics and more common queries.

The geo-match enrich processor is a useful and practical way to allow users to improve their search and aggregation capabilities by leveraging their geo data without needing to define queries or aggregations in geo coordinate terms. Similar to the match enrich processor, users can look up data at the time of ingestion and find the optimal index from which to pull enriched data.

elasticsearch uses standard RESTful APIs and JSON. We also build and maintain clients in many languages such as Java, Python, .NET, SQL, and PHP. Plus, our community has contributed many more. They're easy to work with, feel natural to use, and, just like elasticsearch, don't limit what you might want to do with them.

elasticsearch offers a variety of node types, one of which is specifically for ingesting data. Ingest nodes can execute pre-processing pipelines, composed of one or more ingest processors. Depending on the type of operations performed by the ingest processors and the required resources, it may make sense to have dedicated ingest nodes that will only perform this specific task.

Elastic Agent is a single, unified agent that you can deploy to hosts or containers to collect data and send it to the Elastic Stack. You can use it to add monitoring for logs, metrics, and other types of data to each host. Your Elastic Agent controlled host can use the Endpoint Security integration to provide protection by monitoring your host for security-related events, allowing for investigation of security data through the Elastic Security app in Kibana.

Beats are open source data shippers that you install as agents on your servers to send operational data to elasticsearch or Logstash. Elastic provides Beats for capturing a variety of common logs, metrics, and other various data types.

If you have a specific use case to solve, we encourage you to create a community Beat. We've created an infrastructure to simplify the process. The libbeat library, written entirely in Go, offers the API that all Beats use to ship data to elasticsearch, configure the input options, implement logging, and more.

Logstash is an open source data collection engine with real-time pipelining capabilities. Logstash can dynamically unify data from disparate sources and normalize the data into destinations of your choice. Cleanse and democratize all your data for diverse advanced downstream analytics and visualization use cases.

You can add your own input, codec, filter, or output plugins to Logstash. Plugins can be developed and deployed independently of the Logstash core. And you can also write your own Java plugin for use with Logstash.

elasticsearch for Apache Hadoop (elasticsearch-Hadoop or ES-Hadoop) is an open source, stand-alone, self-contained, small library that allows Hadoop jobs to interact with elasticsearch. Use it to easily build dynamic, embedded search applications to serve your Hadoop data or perform deep, low-latency analytics using full-text, geospatial queries and aggregations.

As an open source, language-agnostic application, it's easy to extend the functionality of elasticsearch with plugins and integrations. Plugins are a way to enhance the core elasticsearch functionality in a custom manner, while integrations are external tools or modules that make it easier to work with elasticsearch.

Fleet provides a web-based UI in Kibana to add and manage integrations for popular services and platforms, as well as manage a fleet of Elastic Agents. Our integrations provide an easy way to add new sources of data, plus they ship with out-of-the-box assets like dashboards, visualizations, and pipelines to extract structured fields out of logs.

Control multiple Logstash instances from the pipeline management UI in Kibana. On the Logstash side, simply enable configuration management and register Logstash to use the centrally managed pipeline configurations.

elasticsearch supports a number of different data types for the fields in a document, and each of those data types offers its own multiple subtypes. This allows you to store, analyze, and utilize data in the most efficient and effective way possible, regardless of the data. Some of the types of data elasticsearch is optimized for include:

elasticsearch uses a structure called an inverted index, which is designed to allow very fast full-text searches. An inverted index consists of a list of all the unique words that appear in any document, and for each word, a list of the documents in which it appears. To create an inverted index, we first split the content field of each document into separate words (which we call terms, or tokens), create a sorted list of all the unique terms, and then list in which document each term appears.

elasticsearch does not require data to be structured in order to be ingested or analyzed (though structuring will improve speeds). This design makes it simple to get started, but also makes elasticsearch an effective document store. Though elasticsearch is not a NoSQL database, it still provides similar functionality.

An inverted index allows queries to look up search terms quickly, but sorting and aggregations require a different data access pattern. Instead of looking up the term and finding documents, they need to be able to look up the document and find the terms that it has in a field. Doc values are the on-disk data structure in elasticsearch, built at document index time, which makes this data access pattern possible, allowing search to occur in a columnar fashion. This lets elasticsearch excel at time series and metrics analysis.

elasticsearch uses the BKD tree structures within Lucene to store geospatial data. This allows for the efficient analysis of both geo-points (latitude and longitude) and geo-shapes (rectangles and polygons).

While the Elastic Stack does not implement encryption at rest out of the box, it is recommended that disk-level encryption be configured on all host machines. In addition, snapshot targets must also ensure that data is encrypted at rest.

Field-level security restricts the fields that users have read access to. In particular, it restricts which fields can be accessed from document-based read APIs.

A cluster is a collection of one or more nodes (servers) that together holds all of your data and provides federated indexing and search capabilities across all nodes. This architecture makes it simple to scale horizontally. elasticsearch provides a comprehensive and powerful REST API and UIs that you can use to manage your clusters.

A snapshot is a backup taken from a running elasticsearch cluster. You can take a snapshot of either individual indices or the entire cluster and store the snapshot in a repository on a shared file system. There are plugins available that also support remote repositories.

A source repository enables you to create minimal, source-only snapshots that take up to 50% less space on disk. Source-only snapshots contain stored fields and index metadata. They do not include index or doc values structures and are not searchable when restored.

Keeping historical data around for analysis is extremely useful but often avoided due to the financial cost of archiving massive amounts of data. Retention periods are thus driven by financial realities rather than by the usefulness of extensive historical data. The rollup feature provides a means to summarize and store historical data so that it can still be used for analysis, but at a fraction of the storage cost of raw data.

elasticsearch uses a structure called an inverted index, which is designed to allow very fast full-text searches. An inverted index consists of a list of all the unique words that appear in any document, and for each word, a list of the documents in which it appears. To create an inverted index, we first split the content field of each document into separate words (which we call terms, or tokens), create a sorted list of all the unique terms, and then list in which document each term appears.

A runtime field is a field that is evaluated at query time (schema on read). Runtime fields can be introduced or modified at any time, including after the documents have been indexed, and can be defined as part of a query. Runtime fields are exposed to queries with the same interface as indexed fields, so a field can be a runtime field in some indices of a data stream and an indexed field in other indices of that data stream, and queries need not be aware of that. While indexed fields provide optimal query performance, runtime fields complement them by introducing flexibility to change the data structure after the documents have been indexed.

Lookup runtime fields gives you the flexibility of adding information from a lookup index to results from a primary index by defining a key on both indices that links documents. Like runtime fields, this feature is used at query time providing flexible data enrichment.

The cross-cluster search (CCS) feature allows any node to act as a federated client across multiple clusters. A cross-cluster search node won't join the remote cluster; instead, it connects to a remote cluster in a light fashion in order to execute federated search requests.

A similarity (relevance scoring / ranking model) defines how matching documents are scored. By default, elasticsearch uses BM25 similarity — an advanced, TF/IDF-based similarity that has built-in tf normalization optimal for short fields (like names) — but many other similarity options are available.

Building off of Lucene 9's new approximate nearest neighbor or ANN support based on HNSW algorithm, the new _knn_search API endpoint facilitates a more scalable and performant search by vector similarity. It does that by enabling a trade off between recall and performance, i.e. enabling much better performance on very large datasets (compared with the existing brute force vector similarity method) by making a minor compromises on recall.

Full-text search requires a robust query language. elasticsearch provides a full Query DSL (domain-specific language) based on JSON to define queries. Create simple queries to match terms and phrases, or develop compound queries that can combine multiple queries. Additionally, filters can be applied at query time to remove documents before they're given a relevance score.

The asynchronous search API enables users to run long-running queries in the background, track query progress, and retrieve partial results as they become available.

Highlighters enable you to get highlighted snippets from one or more fields in your search results so you can show users where the query matches are. When you request highlights, the response contains an additional highlight element for each search hit that includes the highlighted fields and the highlighted fragments.

The completion suggester provides auto-complete/search-as-you-type functionality. This is a navigational feature to guide users to relevant results as they are typing, improving search precision.

The term suggester is at the root of spell check, suggesting terms based on edit distance. The provided suggest text is analyzed before terms are suggested. The suggested terms are provided per analyzed suggest text token.

The phrase suggester adds did-you-mean functionality to your search by building additional logic on top of the term suggester to select entire corrected phrases instead of individual tokens weighted based on ngram-language models. In practice this suggester will be able to make better decisions about which tokens to pick based on co-occurrence and frequencies.

Flipping the standard search model of using a query to find a document stored in an index, percolators can be used to match documents to queries stored in an index. The percolate query itself contains the document that will be used as a query to match with the stored queries.

The profile API provides detailed timing information about the execution of individual components in a search request. It provides insight into how search requests are executed at a low level so you can understand why certain requests are slow and take steps to improve them.

Field-level security and document-level security restrict search results to only what users have read access to. In particular, it restricts which fields and documents can be accessed from document-based read APIs.

Query cancellation is a helpful Kibana feature that helps overall cluster impact by reducing unnecessary processing overload. Automatic cancellation of elasticsearch requests will occur when users change/update their query or refresh the browser page.

The aggregations framework helps provide aggregated data based on a search query. It is based on simple building blocks called aggregations that can be composed in order to build complex summaries of the data. An aggregation can be seen as a unit-of-work that builds analytic information over a set of documents.

The Graph explore API enables you to extract and summarize information about the documents and terms in your elasticsearch index. The best way to understand the behavior of this API is to use Graph in Kibana to explore connections.

Create threshold alerts to periodically check when the data in your elasticsearch indices goes above or below a certain threshold within a given time interval. Our alerting features give you the full power of the elasticsearch query language to identify changes in your data that are interesting to you.

Inference enables you to use supervised machine learning processes – like regression or classification – not only as a batch analysis but in a continuous fashion. Inference makes it possible to use trained machine learning models against incoming data.

Language identification is a trained model that you can use to determine the language of text. You can reference the language identification model in an inference processor.

After Elastic machine learning creates baselines of normal behavior for your data, you can use that information to extrapolate future behavior. Then create a forecast to estimate a time series value at a specific future date or estimate the probability of a time series value occurring in the future

Elastic machine learning features automate the analysis of time series data by creating accurate baselines of normal behavior in the data and identifying anomalous patterns in that data. Anomalies are detected, scored, and linked with statistically significant influencers in the data using proprietary machine learning algorithms.

For changes that are harder to define with rules and thresholds, combine alerting with unsupervised machine learning features to find the unusual behavior. Then use the anomaly scores in the alerting framework to get notified when problems arise.

Use Elastic machine learning features to build a profile of what a "typical" user, machine, or other entity does over a specified time period and then identify outliers when they behave abnormally compared to the population.

Application log events are often unstructured and contain variable data. Elastic machine learning features observe the static parts of the message, cluster similar messages together, and classify them into message categories.

Once an anomaly is detected, Elastic machine learning features make it easy to identify the properties that significantly influenced it. For instance, if there's an unusual drop in transactions, you can quickly identify the failing server or misconfigured switch causing the problem.

Data Visualizer helps you better understand your elasticsearch data and identify possible fields for machine learning analysis by analyzing the metrics and fields in a log file or an existing index.

Create complex machine learning jobs with multiple detectors. Use the Anomaly Explorer to view the results after a multi-metric job has analyzed the input stream of data, modeled its behavior, and performed analysis based on the two detectors you defined in your job.

Unsupervised outlier detection uses four different distance- and density-based machine learning techniques to find which data points are unusual compared to the majority. Create outlier detection data frame analytics jobs by using the create data frame analytics jobs API.

Quickly revert a model back to a desired snapshot in case of an unplanned system outage or other event causing misleading results in anomaly detection.

The APM Server receives data from APM agents and transforms them into elasticsearch documents. It does this by exposing an HTTP server endpoint to which agents stream the APM data they collect. After the APM Server has validated and processed events from the APM agents, the server transforms the data into elasticsearch documents and stores them in corresponding elasticsearch indices.

APM agents are open source libraries written in the same language as your service. You install them into your service as you would install any other library. They instrument your code and collect performance data and errors at runtime. This data is buffered for a short period and sent on to the APM Server.

Finding and fixing roadblocks in your code boils down to search. Our dedicated APM app in Kibana lets you identify bottlenecks and zero in on problematic changes at the code level. As a result, you get better, more efficient code that leads to a speedier develop-test-deploy loop, faster applications, and better customer experiences.
