E – Elastic Search – Tool for Searching Log Data
Elastic Search refers to an analytics engine, which is used to stored logs and helps in searching the immediate data required from the large volume of data sets. It is an open-source, widely distributed, promptly adaptable web search tool. It can be used by a developer to find the unnecessary data in the heap to save both time and manpower. Elastic Search can monitor extremely rapid searches and simplifies the processing, visualization, and reporting of results. It helps against large volumes of data in fast and insightful searching.
F – Fluentd – Routing and Collecting Log Data
Fluentd is known as Log Shippers. It helps in collecting, transforming, and shipping log data to the Elastic search backend to speed up the search process. It is also known as Data Collectors because it gathers all log data in a centralized location and helps in unifying data logs. It is an open-source data collector that we will install to tail container log files on our Kubernetes nodes, and then filter and transform log data, and deliver to the Elasticsearch cluster where it will be indexed and stored.
K – Kibana – Log Data Visualization
Kibana is described as Web Interface for Elastic Search. It is used for visualization, therefore it is a web interface used to visualize data with the help of different forms of the chart in elastic search. Kibana is Elastic Search's data visualization and management tool which provides histograms, line graphs, pie charts, and maps in real-time. It also provides specialized software such as Canvas, which allows users to create custom dynamic details graphics that are suitable for their data, and Elastic Maps for geospatial data visualization.
