Tasks such as log collection and metrics aggregation can be daunting within Kubernetes and Docker deployments. Fortunately, the open source Elastic Stack (formerly known as the ELK Stack) provides effective methods to collect and store a wide variety of operational data to simplify these and similar problems.

Join Carlos Pérez-Aradros, Beats Software Engineer, and Brandon Mensing, Beats Senior Product Manager for a live demo and presentation on leveraging the latest features in Beats (including “add metadata” processors, modules, and new autodiscovery features), Elasticsearch, and Kibana can make managing containerized, scheduled, and otherwise automated environments a great experience.
