ELK Stack Docker Setup

This repository provides a Docker-based deployment of the ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) stack, allowing users to quickly set up a centralized logging system.

Features

• Fully Automated Deployment: Run a single command to set up ELK.
• Preconfigured Logstash Pipeline: Includes a sample configuration for ingesting logs.
• User-Friendly: Easily customizable for different logging needs.
• Lightweight & Scalable: Uses Docker Compose to manage services efficiently.

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Installation

Configuration

Logstash

input {
  beats {
    port => 5044
  }
}

filter {
  grok {
    match => { "message" => "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" }
  }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["http://elasticsearch:9200"]
    index => "logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    user => "elastic"
    password => "changeme"
  }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
