Hello World! Logsene mlmoneu13cf for -44%
app app app app files files
app app app app files files Elasticsearch logstash Kibana
Elasticsearch Reason #1: Quick Search No indexing But... =>
...and other reasons good write speed lots of tools for
logging scales easily
Production Tips stability performance
Stability 1/4: Discovery multicast unicast vs cluster name list of
nodes + plugins: EC2, GCE
Stability 2/4: Preventing Split Brain minimum_master_nodes = N/2 + 1
Stability 3/4: No OOMs, pls! 1GB ½ total RAM Monitor
the requirements SPM for Elasticsearch 20% off with MONEU2013
Stability 4/4: Field Cache can be changed to index.cache.field.type: soft
indices.fielddata.cache.size: X%
Performance 1/4: Bulk Processing use Bulk API or Bulk UDP
API ...translog.flush_threshold_ops
Performance 2/4: Refresh Interval http://blog.sematext.com/2013/07/08/elasticsearch-refresh-interval-vs-indexing-performance/ default: every second => but
every 5s +25% indexing* every 30s +70% indexing*
Performance 3/4: Timed Indices
Performance 4/4: Buffers ...index_buffer_size: 30% (YMMV) index.store.type: mmapfs (on 64-bit
machines) http://blog.thetaphi.de/2012/07/use-lucenes-mmapdirectory-on-64bit.html
