• 1x Fluentd NEED TO BE RUN FIRST see how to run this stack
• containers output logger (back to ELK)
• index platform*

• 3x server (data/client/master role) - you can start just one server (elasticsearchdataone) if you don't have HW resources or limit resources via docker CPU/Mem qutoas, see comments in common-services.yml
• x-pack installed
• exposed ports:
• 920[1-3] / 930[1-3]

• Kibana lets you visualize your Elasticsearch data and navigate the Elastic Stack, so you can do anything from learning why you're getting paged at 2:00 a.m. to understanding the impact rain might have on your quarterly numbers.
• exposed port: 5601
• http://localhost:5601/app/kibana
• x-pack installed
• The default password for the elastic user is changeme

• not logged via Fluentd to ELK (API key created during start)

• Mattermost server - running outside demo stack as a simple container with open access and webhook created
• You can easily spin your own instances via docker compose
• https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-docker
• IP of server is setup in .env

• Start stack (do not use docker-compose up as there are some prerequisities to start stack)

• This short script will prepare temporary data volumes for ES servers and start fluend container first

• Download git repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/VAdamec/elk-stack-v5-xpack 
$ cd elk-stack-v5-xpack
$ ./_start

• just stop containers, for removing network/artefact use docker-copose command

$ ./_stop

You can use logstash or kibana containers (all is mounted as /code/) or install on your system (OSX/Lnx).

• netcat - for logstash feedings
• jq - for pretty outputs
• curl - for shell work with Elastic
