Elastic Stack is a suite of open source tools for log analytics and data processing including Beats, Logstash, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Curator, and hosted cloud solutions. Beats are lightweight data shippers that collect data from endpoints and send to Logstash or Elasticsearch. Logstash is used for data collection, transformation, and transport to Elasticsearch for storage and search. Kibana provides data visualization and dashboards. Curator manages Elasticsearch indices. The Elastic Stack can be self-hosted or used via cloud offerings.
