Going Elastic
summary
Live demo ingests 100,000 generated person documents into Elasticsearch and explores them with Kibana 5 alpha—pie, donut and tile maps show country/city/gender breakdowns and a dashboard aggregates system views. Beats run on the VM—filebeat, metricbeat, packetbeat—and packetbeat extracts HTTP URLs, response codes and timings; demo records ~47 requests in 15 minutes with three 404s. Beats are Go binaries that start instantly; Logstash stays JRuby and handles heavy parsing. A Vagrant box assembles the stack and largely works though the VM clock drifts.
