State of the Art Logging. Kibana4Solr is Here!

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Presented by Markus Klose, Search + Big Data Consultant SHI Elektronische Medien GmbH at Lucene/Solr Revolution 2013 Dublin Kibana4Solr is search-driven, scalable, browser based and extremely user friendly (also for non-technical users). Logs are everywhere. Any device, system or human can potentially produce a huge amount of information saved in logs. The amount of available logs and their semi-structured nature make a meaningful processing in real-time quite a difficult task. Thus, valuable business insights stored in logs might be not found. Kibana4Solr is a search-driven approach to handle that challenge. It offers user-friendly and browser-based dashboard which can be easily customized to particular needs. In the session the Kibana4Solr will be introduced. Some light will be shed on the architectural features of Kibana4Solr. Some ideas will be given in terms of possible business uses cases. And finally a live demo of Kibana4Solr will be shown. Configure

• In customer projects there is always the need of monitoring data/content and userdata

– „what are the most searched terms?“

– „what hit was selected?“

– „are there searches with no hits?“

– „how are my products categorized?“

– „how many of my products are almost not in stock?“

– …

• „…is there nothing out of the box?...“ -> NO not with Solr

Motivation 1

• Use and combine existing tools to offer all our customer a good analyzing infrastructure

• Good experience with kibana in our elasticsearch projects

idea: enable kibana to use a solr index

Motivation 2

• “Kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser based analytics and search interface to Logstash and other timestamped data sets stored in ElasticSearch ... Kibana strives to be easy to get started with, while also being flexible and powerful”

visualize logs and time-stamped data

• Seamless integration with Logstash, Apache Flume, Fluentd and others

What is Kibana

KibanaElasticsearchElasticsearchLogstashLogstashlogslogs
