About the course:
Our instructor-led ELK Stack for Monitoring training course will give you hands-on experience using Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana to monitor and visualise the health and performance of platforms, clusters and distributed systems.
We'll show you how to obtain, configure and start using ELK alongside technologies such as AWS, Kubernetes and Docker, so you can keep tabs and produce visualisation and reporting solutions on CPU load, memory usage and bottlenecks.
You'll be guided by an experienced DevOps / Elasticsearch practitioner. The course can be delivered as a remote virtual instructor-led class, in-house, and attended on our public scheduled courses in London.
Learning outcomes
- Setup and run elasticsearch, logstash and kibana
- Log parsing
- Shipping logs and metrics from distributed systems to elasticsearch
- Searches and queries
- Creating interactive dashboards with Kibana
Who should attend
This course is aimed at SREs, Ops / DevOps engineers, sysadmins and data centre managers who need to collect useful metrics and create reporting visualisations on system / distributed system performance. Existing experience in any of these disciplines will be useful.
Live, instructor-led online and on-site training
We appreciate that you need flexibility to fit in with new working situations - whether you're an individual, part of a distributed team, or simply have projects and deadlines to meet.
Our remote training can take place online in a virtual classroom, with content split into modules to accommodate your scheduling challenges and meet your learning goals. Get in touch today to find out how we can help design a cost-effective, flexible training solution.
As soon as it's safe, we'll return to also offering the on-site custom training courses and programmes upon which we've built our reputation.
