Elastic Premier Partner

Elastic is a search company that powers enterprise search, observability, and security solutions built on their free and open technology stack — Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash — that can be deployed anywhere. From finding documents to monitoring infrastructure to hunting for threats, Elastic makes data usable in real time and at scale. 

An outlined log management & analysis strategy is increasingly seen as a critical path in the development of IT services. Everyone recognises the importance of optimal operational management so that problems can be quickly detected & resolved that manifest themselves on your IT infrastructure. An important component in this operational management is the collection and interpretation of all possible available information about the operational IT environment, operational log analytics.

Often that information is available, but fragmented & decentralised so that a clear overview of the data is not available and correlation of the various information flows is not possible, which makes a root-cause analysis more difficult. A central logging and analytics infrastructure is therefore initially necessary in function of the operational management of the IT infrastructure. At a later stage, it can also contribute to compliance control, DevOps and security.

A multi-layer central logging infrastructure, based on Elasticsearch (Elastic Stack) is the best option to start with. Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search engine capable of filling a growing number of use cases.
