Logstash is a tool for centralizing log data from distributed systems that aims to move from solely logging information to a heartbeat approach for monitoring systems. It acts as an orchestrator to collect, process, and store logs and metrics from services and plugins, forwarding the data to an indexer, storage, and UI for analysis to provide visualization of system health beyond just reviewing log files.
