  • Install a self-managed Elastic Stack

    • Objective: Set up a functional environment for testing or development.
    • What you will do: Install the components of the Elastic Stack, including Elasticsearch, Kibana, Fleet Server, and Elastic Agent to collect system data from a host.
    • Outcome: A running multi-node Elasticsearch instance with ingested system data viewable in Kibana.

  • Secure a self-managed Elastic Stack

    • Objective: Apply security protocols to an existing installation.
    • What you will do: Generate SSL/TLS certificates and enable node-to-node encryption between Elasticsearch components.
    • Outcome: A hardened deployment with encrypted traffic and password authentication enabled.
