Big Data StoreΒΆ

CAST supports the integration of the ELK stack as a Big Data solution. Support for this solution is bundled in the csm-big-data rpm in the form of suggested configurations and support scripts.

Configuration order is not strictly enforced for the ELK stack, however, this resource generally assumes the components of the stack are installed in the following order:

  1. Elasticsearch
  2. Kibana
  3. Logstash

This installation order minimizes the likelihood of improperly ingested data being stored in elasticsearch.

Warning

If the index mappings are not created properly timestamp data may be improperly stored. If this occurs the user will need to reindex the data to fix the problem. Please read the elasticsearch section carefully before ingesting data.

Attention

It is recommended to review Common Big Data Store Problems before installing the stack.
