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.

Thanks.

I really like the Digital Ocean tutorial series they did a while ago, like installing MediaWiki. Creating something which you can use at home also helps make projects like these a bit more personal - and thus interesting. Build your own media server (samba, ftp or a bit more advanced like ownCloud). Just make sure it stays a challenge: buy some Raspberry Pi's or Zero's and cluster a web app with MySQL, Redis and stuff like that...

Digital Ocean has really made a name for themselves making incredible documentation. In the past year they've become really famous for it. Very well written, well maintained, tested. It's probably their best marketing tool.

Updated some items here, lots of additional ideas.
