Agenda: Talk Abstracts: Scaling Logstash with BGP - Leo Chan (Cloud & Networking Engineering at Rakuten) Logstash continues to be a cornerstone of the Elasticsearch ecosystem. This presentation explores traditional methods for achieving high redundancy in Logstash, such as Pacemaker and HAProxy. Additionally, it delves into a lesser-known but commonly used approach for scaling Logstash. In this talk, we'll cover: - Ways to scale Logstash - Options and drawbacks to make Logstash highly available 1. HAProxy 2. Pacemaker 3. BGP Elasticsearch Query Language — ES|QL - Priscilla Parodi (Principal Developer Advocate at Elastic) Elasticsearch and Kibana added a brand new query language: ES|QL — coming with a new endpoint (_query) and a simpler syntax. It lets you refine your results one step at a time and adds new features like data enrichment and processing right in your query. And you can use it across the Elastic Stack — from the Elasticsearch API to Discover and Alerting in Kibana. But the biggest change is behind the scenes: Using a new compute engine that was built with performance in mind. Join us for a quick overview and a look at syntax and internals.
