This document summarizes Kazuhiro Kosaka's talk about being stuck using the Elastic Stack. Some key points included being stuck with data loss between Filebeat and Logstash due to Logstash's lack of a persistent queue in versions below 5.1. Kosaka was also stuck with Elasticsearch writing issues due to JVM memory pressure on a single m3.medium instance that was resolved by upgrading to 3 m3.large instances. Restrictions of the Amazon Elasticsearch Service were also discussed, as well as next steps of migrating to Elastic Stack 5.x and considering Elastic Cloud or a private cluster.
