      Few things on Linux are ever as painful as people imagine that they will be.

      That was me before- I thought it was very painful, but as time goes by I discovered it's not that painful if you're already familiar or at least you already know the command.
      And I need to do work more to improve my knowledge. Looking forward to start working on learning Linux projects.

        I wouldn't mind seeing a good guide for ELK. I've thought about setting one up, but never had the resoures in my home lab until recently.

            That's the one I used.

            If you want to cheat, they have a one click installer 😉

              Definitely no need to build your own from scratch. They have they prebuilt for you.

                I tried to Spin it up on CentOS7 at home last night... I got it almost working, but I'm still missing something aparently...

                Where's that one-click installer at? I didn't see it anywhere...

                  When you go to build a new machine on Digital Ocean, you select ELK as the VM type.

                      Calling it a "one click installer" is very confusing. It's nothing like that. It's a pre-built image.

                        @scottalanmiller Ah, this would be my problem... I'm trying to build it myself, lol. Once I can deploy it by hand, then I'd look at a DO droplet or the like.

                        Learn it the hard way first, that way when you break it from the one-click-installer, you can at least go digging to figure out why it broke. 🙂

                          So I got my own ELK stack installed in my meager office lab... It wasn't too teribly bad... I enjoy using the most recent packages when I (attempt) to build something, so I used the latest & greatest betas out for Logstash and Elastic. A few quick googles and I was good. 8-)

                          Now to replicate this on my home server which arguably sees more traffic than my office test setup, lol.

                                    ELK is definitely the way to go. So powerful!

                                      That DO article left out some steps about allowing Firewall rules for some of the ports, I think. I've bee na few days since I've looked at it... I have noticed that I need to set the Kiban4 and logstash processes to restart once a day or the whole thing stops.

                                        I'm stuck in here :

                                        create and edit a new yum repository file for Elasticsearch:

                                        sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo
                                        

                                        Add the following repository configuration:
                                        /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo

                                        **** [elasticsearch-1.4]
                                        name=Elasticsearch repository for 1.4.x packages
                                        baseurl=http://packages.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/1.4/centos
                                        gpgcheck=1
                                        gpgkey=http://packages.elasticsearch.org/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
                                        enabled=1****

                                          You should post in a new thread as this is a fresh question.
