Logstash is an open source tool for collecting, parsing, and storing logs and other event data. It can input data from multiple sources, parse and transform the data, and output it to multiple destinations such as Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene. It allows storing, searching, and analyzing large volumes of data quickly and in near real-time. Together, Logstash can collect and parse log files, enriching the data, and outputting it to Elasticsearch for storage, search, and visualization, making log event data searchable and analyzable.
