When it comes to delivering your data into Elastic Cloud, a variety of options are available for data ingestion. We’ve collected a series of resources to make it easier. From video to documentation, below you can check out a list of the fastest ways to get started.
By now you've probably spun up a deployment and might be wondering what's next. You likely have data that you want to add, known as ingesting or indexing, to Elasticsearch, so let's explore some data ingestion methods.
Enterprise Search
Observability
Security
Logs
Records and events from application servers, your web farm, IoT devices, or triggered actions by users
Application traces
Specialized logging that records information about your program's execution
Metrics
Point-in-time measurements of your application or system for monitoring, alerting, and analyzing trends
Security information and event management data (SIEM)
Security data from cloud, apps, network devices, hosts, servers, and more to power detection and response
Endpoint detection and response data (EDR)
Host activity data to identify threats and accelerate response
Files and catalogs: Pre-built search solutions
Simple-to-use, curated search experience with tunable relevance controls
Files and catalogs: Custom search solution
Customized data store and search experience leveraging Elasticsearch APIs and clients as well as file upload via Kibana

The Elastic web crawler is an easy yet powerful way to ingest publicly available web content so it becomes instantly searchable on your website. The web crawler fetches content, extracts it, and transforms your web pages into search documents that are automatically indexed. Simply provide a URL and let the web crawler do the rest.
Our guided journeys are a set of curated resources designed to help you understand the building blocks of each solution. Whether you’re using Elastic for observability, security, or search, you can jump in at any point depending on the maturity of your deployment.
Follow our step-by-step migration guides to transition to Elastic Cloud from your own servers, virtual machines, or wherever your cluster lives. Determine the option that works best for you.
