Description

Master the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) and learn how to deploy, monitor, secure, and manage production-ready Elastic environments from the ground up.

This course is designed for beginners, system administrators, DevOps engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), monitoring engineers, support engineers, and IT professionals who want to build practical skills in log management, observability, application monitoring, and data analysis using the Elastic Stack.

Starting with the fundamentals, you will learn the architecture of the ELK Stack and understand how Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, Beats, Fleet, and Elastic Agents work together to provide a complete observability platform. No prior ELK Stack experience is required.

In this course you will learn:

  • ELK Stack architecture and core concepts

  • Elasticsearch installation, configuration, and security

  • Kibana installation and Stack Monitoring

  • Filebeat, Metricbeat, and Heartbeat deployment

  • Log collection and processing using Logstash

  • CSV and JSON data ingestion pipelines

  • Elasticsearch Ingest Pipelines

  • Fleet Server and Elastic Agent management

  • Stream data processing and enrichment

  • Synthetic Monitoring and Uptime Monitoring

  • Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

  • Kibana dashboards, Discover, and Dev Tools

  • AI Agent Builder in Kibana

  • Kibana Alerts and Elasticsearch Watchers

  • Elasticsearch upgrade and migration strategies

  • Production best practices and troubleshooting techniques

By the end of this course, you will be able to deploy and manage Elastic Stack environments, collect and analyze logs, monitor infrastructure and applications, create dashboards and alerts, troubleshoot issues, and confidently operate Elasticsearch clusters in production environments.

You will also learn how to configure monitoring solutions, build observability dashboards, create alerts, analyze logs, investigate incidents, and manage Elastic deployments using modern operational practices. Every topic is explained through practical demonstrations and real-world examples to help you gain hands-on experience.

Whether your goal is to become an Elastic Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Monitoring Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, Platform Engineer, or Observability Specialist, this course will provide the skills needed to work with Elastic Stack in real-world production environments.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is designed for beginners, DevOps Engineers, ELK Developers, Solution Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), Linux Administrators, and IT professionals.
