ELK Stack on the Cheap
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Preface
I began writing this guide early in 2017 to develop an ElasticSearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK) stack in the cloud on the cheap (less than $15 per month). The idea was to use my Google Cloud free trial to create as small of instances as I could to run the stack to analyze a few days worth of Nginx logs. I ended up creating three f1-micro instances to run the processes. The only issue I ran into happened during installation of the node modules needed for XPath for the Kibana instance.
