</table>Getting a <a href="https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service">hosted&nbsp;Elasticsearch</a> environment up and running has never been easier. With Elastic Cloud you can launch your cluster and start ingesting data in minutes. See how in <a href="https://youtu.be/UqUJtZ7of9w" target="_blank">this 3-minute video.</a> This step-by-step set of instructions will walk you through setting up an Elastic Cloud account, creating and securing a Elasticsearch cluster, importing data, and visualizing it in Kibana. Let's get started!
<h2>Log into Elastic Cloud&nbsp;</h2><ol>
	<li>Go to <a href="https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service">https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service</a>&nbsp;and sign up for a free trial</li>
	<li>You will receive a confirmation email. Open it and follow the instructions to start your trial</li>
	<li>	Log into your&nbsp;Elastic Cloud account</li>
</ol>
<h2>Create your first&nbsp;hosted&nbsp;Elasticsearch cluster</h2><ol>
	<li>Once you have signed in you will see an overview of your deployments. &nbsp;Click on the "Create Deployment" button</li>
	<li>For trials the deployment size is&nbsp;fixed with&nbsp;4GB memory and 96GB of storage, and two&nbsp;"Availability Zones" (data centers) for higher availability</li>
	<li>Name your deployment, choose the provider and&nbsp;region that you prefer. &nbsp;I am selecting GCP, in the US Central Region</li>
	<li>Add in any plugins you would like, I am sticking with the defaults</li>
	<li>Click on&nbsp;Create to provision your deployment.&nbsp;&nbsp;Provisioning will start and you will receive a notification once it's complete</li>
	<li>Save the password that pops up for the elastic user, we will need it later</li>
</ol><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf7afce26b89a5b33/blt475248bc967fe3e6/5b0313b70108c1d50fed2d33/download" data-sys-asset-uid="blt475248bc967fe3e6" alt="CloudSetup.gif">
Editor’s Note (September 3, 2019): Microsoft Azure is now available as a cloud provider for Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud. For more information, please read the <a href="/blog/elasticsearch-service-on-elastic-cloud-now-available-on-microsoft-azure">announcement blog</a>.<h2>Using Kibana</h2>Kibana is enabled by default. &nbsp;We'll use the password for the elastic user which we saved earlier. &nbsp;While viewing the deployment details screen, click on the Kibana endpoint:
<img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf7afce26b89a5b33/blte84bc89c181e5b63/5b02e0297f08d319106505cf/download" data-sys-asset-uid="blte84bc89c181e5b63" alt="2018-05-21_11-04-30.png">
and log in with the elastic user and the generated&nbsp;password we saved from deployment (if you didn't save the password&nbsp;you can reset it from the security tab on the Elastic Cloud deployment overview tab).
<h2>Secure your Cluster</h2>
	Next, let's configure cluster access and security&nbsp;using the X-Pack security module, included with all Elastic Cloud accounts:
<ol>
	<li>Make sure that you have&nbsp;logged into the Kibana interface with the username&nbsp;elastic&nbsp;& the password you copied from the initial provisioning step</li>
	<li>Create additional users and/or configure existing user&nbsp;names and passwords. I will create&nbsp;a new user,&nbsp;<code>sa_admin</code>. &nbsp;I&nbsp;will configure the <code>sa_admin</code> user with the <code>superuser</code> role&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Specify the password for the user, I am using something super-secret</li>
	<li>Make sure that you remember the username and password that you added- save&nbsp;your credentials in a secure vault. Or on a Post-it note&nbsp;😉.&nbsp;</li>
</ol><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf7afce26b89a5b33/blta29fa3a2a1026b67/5b02e12bdc1dd5cd0f3c8785/download" data-sys-asset-uid="blta29fa3a2a1026b67" alt="2018-05-21_11-08-59.png">
You can update your passwords and add additional users using the same process.&nbsp;You may also use the new security API by following the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/security-api.html" target="_blank">instructions in our documentation</a>.
<h2>Elasticsearch Endpoint</h2>Once you have logged into Kibana, you will see the Discovery tab.&nbsp;However, there is not yet any&nbsp;data to visualize. Let's&nbsp;work on putting some&nbsp;data into Elasticsearch.&nbsp;Let's gather some information so we can be successful!&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ol>
	<li>Go to the Deployment Overview on the Elastic Cloud console. The Elasticsearch endpoint&nbsp;is&nbsp;used for API access to&nbsp;your cluster</li>
	<li>	Click on the "clipboard" icon next to the&nbsp;Elasticsearch endpoint&nbsp;link--&nbsp;this will copy&nbsp;the https URL&nbsp;which&nbsp;will be used in the following steps</li>
	<li>We will also leverage the&nbsp;Cloud ID when loading our sample dataset. &nbsp;Refer&nbsp;to this image to find the pieces that you need<img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf7afce26b89a5b33/blt23a2a2fcd8c0a71a/5b030e9c43098c11102a3f3a/download" data-sys-asset-uid="blt23a2a2fcd8c0a71a" alt="2018-05-21_11-04-30.png"></li>
</ol><h2>Import Data
</h2>Now&nbsp;let’s put&nbsp;some data into our Elasticsearch cluster so&nbsp;we can&nbsp;see the Elastic Stack in action. If you don’t have a sample dataset handy, use one from the various data samples in our&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/elastic/examples" target="_blank">GitHub Examples Repo.</a> I'll&nbsp;be using the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/apache_logs" target="_blank">Apache logs sample</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats/filebeat" target="_blank">Filebeat</a>&nbsp;(download your system version). To ingest the logs into our hosted Elasticsearch cluster, we will specify the parameters on the command line, but you can also specify them in the configuration file.
1. Loosely following&nbsp;the instructions on the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/apache_logs">apache logs readme</a>, we will&nbsp;download the apache_logs file&nbsp;by right-clicking on&nbsp;<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/examples/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/apache_logs/apache_logs">this link</a>&nbsp;and selecting your browser's equivalent of "save to downloads"
<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/examples/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/apache_logs/apache_logs"></a>2. Download and expand the <a href="https://www.elastic.co/downloads/beats/filebeat">filebeat archive</a> appropriate for your platform, and change to the filebeat directory
3. Run filebeat, specifying the Cloud ID (from the above configuration screen) and the Cloud Auth parameters (the username & password which we added), along with&nbsp;the absolute path to where you stored the&nbsp;apache_logs file:
<pre class="prettyprint">./filebeat -e \
 --modules=apache2 \
 --setup \
 -E cloud.id="&lt;cloud-id-from-overview" \
 -E cloud.auth="&lt;cloud-auth-for-the-user-we-added" \
 -M "apache2.access.var.paths=[&lt;PATH_TO_APACHE_LOGS_FILE&gt;]"
</pre>For example, I'm using: 
<pre class="prettyprint">./filebeat -e \
 --modules=apache2 \
 --setup \
 -E cloud.id="Demo_Deployment:dXMtY2Vu..........jczODYke30=" \
 -E cloud.auth="sa_admin:s00p3rS3cr3t" \
 -M "apache2.access.var.paths=[/Users/jamie/Downloads/apache_logs]"
</pre>4. Note that the above command won't stop when it has finished that file (because it is watching for updates), but you can check the status to determine when it's done. &nbsp;I find it useful to store the value of the Elasticsearch endpoint in an environment variable. &nbsp;In a new terminal window I set this up, substituting the Elasticsearch endpoint URL for the part after the = sign:&nbsp; 
<pre class="prettyprint">export ES_ENDPOINT=https://somelongid.provider.domain.co:9243
</pre>For example, I ran: 
<pre class="prettyprint">export ES_ENDPOINT=https://06d43fc32a46484c86dae50578518186.us-central1.gcp.foundit.no:9243
</pre>(This is the convention that I follow in the&nbsp;checks&nbsp;below, of course you can just paste it in each time as well) 
5. You can verify that&nbsp;your data exists in Elasticsearch by going to <code>ES_ENDPOINT/apache_elastic_example/_count</code>, where <code>ES_ENDPOINT</code> is the Elasticsearch endpoint URL.&nbsp;Assuming that you set the environment variable above, you can do this using the curl command (make sure that you specify the user parameter for basic authentication for our https endpoint) 
<pre class="prettyprint">%&gt; curl --user sa_admin:s00p3rS3cr3t ${ES_ENDPOINT}/apache_elastic_example/_count
{"count":607,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0}}
</pre>6. &nbsp;Continue checking the count, and&nbsp;once it reaches 10000 you can stop the filebeat&nbsp;process (ctrl-c will do the trick)

<pre class="prettyprint" style="font-size: 12.600000381469727px;">%&gt; curl --user sa_admin:s00p3rS3cr3t ${ES_ENDPOINT}/filebeat-*/_count
{"count":10000,"_shards":{"total":5,"successful":5,"failed":0}}
</pre>7. You can verify the health of your cluster by hitting&nbsp;to&nbsp;<code>ES_ENDPOINT/_cat/indices</code>.&nbsp;You should see your <code>filebeat-*</code> index listed along with its&nbsp;statistics (notice that the exact name of the index depends on when you ingested&nbsp;the data): 
<pre class="prettyprint">%&gt; curl --user sa_admin:s00p3rS3cr3t ${ES_ENDPOINT}/_cat/indices
green open .kibana 6EL2PmMfSzK7777PPxm_DA 1 0 143 0 265.3kb 265.3kb
green open .security-6 -h44-IzPQCCp3S3KREaDQA 1 0 1 0 5kb 5kb
yellow open filebeat-6.2.4-2018.05.21 qwuGJyfGSw23O1bLy97I0g 3 1 10000 0 3.2mb 3.2mb
</pre><h2>Visualize Data</h2>Now let's access your Kibana instance and continue with the example&nbsp;instructions to visualize our data.
Go to Index Pattern&nbsp;options under the Management&nbsp;tab and&nbsp;verify that the&nbsp;filebeat-*&nbsp;index is in&nbsp;Kibana. &nbsp;If not, add it,&nbsp;click&nbsp;Next Step, then select the @timestamp as the&nbsp;time filter field name. &nbsp;Finally,&nbsp;hit the&nbsp;Create index pattern button.
1. &nbsp;You can look at your data by selecting the filebeat-*&nbsp;index on the Discover&nbsp;tab, then changing the time window to May 2015 (which is when our data was generated):
<img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf7afce26b89a5b33/blt2f066a6a890c4332/5b031b749ff66f1e1070781a/download" data-sys-asset-uid="blt2f066a6a890c4332" alt="2018-05-21_14-12-20.png">
which would then look like this: 
<img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf7afce26b89a5b33/blt1cf48ef9bb0a8d13/5b031b7df6caf9ce0f01f4d8/download" data-sys-asset-uid="blt1cf48ef9bb0a8d13" alt="2018-05-21_14-13-00.png">
2.&nbsp;Since we started filebeat with the&nbsp;<code>--setup</code>&nbsp;flag, it automatically loaded the dashboards for us. &nbsp;Navigate over to the Dashboard sidebar, and select the&nbsp;[Filebeat Apache2] Access and error logs dashboard. &nbsp;
<img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf7afce26b89a5b33/blt50ce45def3248256/5b031b944acb76fe0f73c3ae/download" data-sys-asset-uid="blt50ce45def3248256" alt="2018-05-21_14-14-48.png">
<h2>Summary</h2>We have successfully set up a deployment, imported sample data, and looked at our first saved dashboard! &nbsp;Now you have some sample Apache log data in Elasticsearch and you can begin to get some insight and more importantly value from your logs. You can continue exploring&nbsp;with other sample datasets from the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/examples" target="_blank">Examples repo</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.5/getting-started.html#tutorial-load-dataset" target="_blank">Kibana getting started guide</a> &nbsp;or&nbsp;start sending your own data by using Logstash or Beats.
