Collecting Windows metrics in Elasticsearch with Metricbeat and visualizing with Grafana

In this post, we'll look at another of Elasticsearch's wonderful components, within the Beats packages we will also find a utility that will help us to process and collect metrics from our Windows or Linux computers, known as Metricbeat. We will see how to export these metrics to Logstash to process them and store them in Elasticsearch to later visualize them with Kibana or Grafana!

Redirecting Event Viewer events from Windows computers to Elasticsearch with Winlogbeat and viewing with Grafana

GOOD, once we have already set up our platform with Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana, In this first post, we are going to analyze the events of the Event Viewer of our Windows computers using Winlogbeat! We'll install the small agent and send the events we decide to Logstash to process and store in Elasticsearch, and then we will visualize them with Grafana!

Monitoring with Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Grafana, Beats…

Well, We are going to make a series of documents where I am going to show you the necessary steps to have a fully skilled and functional real-time monitoring solution. We will base ourselves on the multiple options that the mythical Elastic Stack will give us, made up of Elasticsearch-type tools, Logshtash, Kibana and of course Beats packs. There will be a few posts, I hope you enjoy them, Let's freak out 😉
