I will walk through the steps to install and configure a minimal production-ready Elastic stack setup, which can be used for application logs and system performance monitoring - we will install and configure:

- Multi-node Elasticsearch cluster

- Kibana

- Metricbeat for system monitoring

- Filebeat for application logs consumption

- Logstash for application logs processing

- APM for ditributed tracing

- Auditbeat for system audits

The system will be deployed on 4 AWS EC2 instances - so if you have AWS, please feel free to join in and code along
