Elasticsearch: Mining metrics from logs

Jonathan Relf

With an increasing amount of log data from software & systems it can be hard to see the ‘wood for the trees’. Big data has a risk of being overwhelming in size and harder to manipulate. Metrics offer us a chance to digest and see trends at a higher level. In this session, you’ll learn how features in Elasticsearch has helped Esendex unlock numerical insights in log data & offers advice on finding an efficient combination of both approaches.
