**DreamFactory** has had support for Logstash since [version 2.3](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/dreamfactory-event-logging/) for our [Gold](https://www.dreamfactory.com/products) Tier version.  [Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/products) makes some great tools to support very robust logging.  Incorporating Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana into your powerful, scalable DreamFactory instance is a no brainer, especially for users who have a lot of data being pushed and pulled through various endpoints.  This will make the lives of your admins so much easier with the amount of detail they can grab to troubleshoot issues.

 In the past we had shipped these products as part of our install packages, but now we require you to install these products yourself where it makes the most sense in order to optimize your production environments. Let’s dig into the good stuff and get you up and running!

In order to take advantage of the ELK stack, you need to download and install all three components if you want to run them locally.  They also have cloud install options, but that will be out of the scope of this post. You can still connect those instances to DreamFactory and if you need any assistance, please reach out to our [support team](mailto:support@dreamfactory.com)! **Make sure you are cognizant of which versions you are downloading.  6.X introduced a number of features that will break anything on 5.X.** There are a couple of ways you can do this.  You can go the Homebrew route if on Mac or Linux based systems, or you can download them directly from the [Elastic site](https://www.elastic.co/products) if using Windows.  Their documentation is very good should you choose to go that route.

Before you install these tools, check to see if you have the [Java 8 SDK](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html) installed in order for the ELK stack to run.  You can easily check to see if you have it installed by typing

```
java -version
```

into your terminal window. If you don’t see something like this:

![Java 8 SDK version check](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-15%20at%2012_51_24%20PM.png)

<https://cl.ly/3i3K2f1N230v>

You will need to head to the Java installation page right [here.](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html)  

Using Homebrew to install these components is very fast and straightforward.  If you do not have [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installed you can do so in your terminal window:

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">)"</span>
```

Make sure it is updated:

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew update</span>
```

## **Installing Elasticsearch**

Now that we’ve made sure our system and environment have the required pieces in place, we can begin with installing the stack’s components, starting with Elasticsearch:

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew install elasticsearch &amp;&amp; brew info elasticsearch</span>
```

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew services start elasticsearch</span>
```

Start Elasticsearch with Homebrew:

Use your favorite browser to check that it is running correctly on localhost and the default port: *https://localhost:9200*

The output should look something like this:

![Elasticsearch localhost example](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-15%20at%201_04_53%20PM.png)

## **Installing Logstash**

Your next step is to install Logstash:

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew install logstash</span>
```

You can run Logstash using the following command:

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew services start logstash</span>
```

Since we haven’t configured a Logstash pipeline yet, starting Logstash will not result in anything meaningful. We will return to configuring Logstash in another step below.

## **Installing Kibana**

Finally, let’s install the last component of ELK, Kibana.

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew install kibana</span>
```

Start Kibana and check that all of ELK services are running.

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew services start kibana</span>
```

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew services list</span>
```

![ELK Stack Services Check](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/%5B07e064044e801a3751c5d90fd69c0d08%5D_Image202018-04-1520at201_09_0820PM.png)

Kibana will need some configuration changes to work.

Open the Kibana configuration file:  *kibana.yml*

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">sudo vi /usr/local/etc/kibana/kibana.yml</span>
```

Uncomment the directives for defining the Kibana port and Elasticsearch instance by deleting the preceding #.  See the image below:

![Image 2018-04-15 at 9.57.17 PM](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-15%20at%209_57_17%20PM.png)

If everything went well, open Kibana at [https://localhost:5601/status](https://localhost:5601/status#?_g=%28%29). You should see something like this:

![Kibana Dashboard Status](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-15%20at%201_06_58%20PM.png)

**Boom, ELK is installed! But, now what?**

Since this is a vanilla installation, you have no Elasticsearch indices to analyze in Kibana. We will take care of that in the next step.

## **Connecting to DreamFactory and Passing Some Data Through Your ELK Stack**

You are ready to start sending data into Elasticsearch and enjoy all the goodness that the stack offers. To help you get started, here is an example of a Logstash pipeline sending event logs into the stack.  This is a very basic example in order to make sure I have the appropriate connection points accounted for when I connect this stack with **DreamFactory**.

First, you will need to create a new Logstash configuration file and put it in the same directory as your Logstash installation:

```
input
{
    beats
    {
        ssl => false
        host => "0.0.0.0"
        port => 5044
    }
    gelf{
        host => "0.0.0.0"
        port => 12201
    }
    http{
        ssl => false
        host => "0.0.0.0"
        port => 8888
    }
    tcp{
        mode => "server"
        host => "0.0.0.0"
        port => 5010
    }
    udp{
        host => "0.0.0.0"
        port => 5000
    }
}
output{
    elasticsearch{
        hosts => ["127.0.0.1:9200"]
        index => "logstash-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    }
}
```

Then, restart the Logstash service:

```
<span style="font-weight: 400;">brew services restart logstash</span>
```

In the Management tab in Kibana, you should see a newly created index (logstash-2018.04.11, in this case) created by the new Logstash pipeline. You can see in the output object in the logstash.conf file how we obtain the index value.  Enter this as an index pattern, and in the next step select the *@timestamp* field as your Time Filter field name.

![Kibana Management Portal](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-15%20at%2010_13_15%20PM.png)

OK, now we need to make the data flow from DreamFactory and into your new pipeline.  This is the easy part.  Create a new service inside of the DreamFactory admin interface as I have below:

![Logstash Service Creation](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-15%20at%2010_33_22%20PM.png)

Then hop over to the config tab of your new service and add in the appropriate listening host, port, and format.  You will also be selecting what you would like to log.  As you can see in the screenshot below, there is an extensive list of logging capabilities.  You can create various service events you want to watch.

![Image 2018-04-15 at 10.34.28 PM](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-15%20at%2010_34_28%20PM.png)

When you create a service event it will send detailed information to your Kibana application when the service event is invoked (the api endpoint is hit) where you can create a myriad of detailed graphs, charts, and reports.  Take a look below at some sample results:

![Kibana Example Data Part 1](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-19%20at%202_47_51%20PM.png)

![Kibana Example Data Part 2](https://blog.dreamfactory.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Image%202018-04-19%20at%202_48_36%20PM.png)

You can see just how much information the ELK stack will provide.  Hopefully you are paid up on your quarterly taxes and you have no dark secrets locked away in any dark corners.  Ha!

Elastico makes a robust program, and in this day and age of data privacy concerns, you now have the ability to track everything about your API calls.  If you want to test it out yourself, click the button below and have some fun.
