  3. • Great for complex Elasticsearch queries and administrative operations •

    Syntax highlighting and intelligent typeahead Sense the intelligent console for Elasticsearch
  4. Monitor metrics for your entire Elasticsearch infra 13 • Multi

  6. Creating Kibana Apps Install it npm install -g yo #

  7. 16 What to talk about • customisable colours and labels

    • strong integration with security • The dark side is back • space efficiency up 20% => more real estate • export all the things! • plugin all the things! • kibana app’s [ and generator ] • status page Kibana Source: Gray Arial 10pt
  8. What is the current Logstash throughput? 20 Logstash is blocked?,

  11. Step 1: Config Reloading Previously: Any config change made to

  12. The java reincarnation • Logstash is based on JRuby, Ruby

    on top of the JVM • Some core components are being rewritten in plain java. • First step: the event representation. • Introduced in 2.3.0, reverted in 2.3.1, on track for 5.0. • Provide the foundations for upcoming persistence queues, this change will be backwards due to the nice introp between JRuby and Java. • Will enable not just ruby plugins, but using any JVM languages • And not only about this, but performance ….. 28
  13. This that might break up for 5.0 • New Event

    API proposal [#5141] • bin/plugin is now bin/logstash-plugin [#4871] • Require Java 8 as default [#3877] • Fieldref StringInterpolation and Fixnum/Float values [#5114] • Add support for x-pack’s [#4872] • Runner cleanup [#3148, #3860] • Use settings file to complement command line arguments [#4401] 34
