Back to original languageAbout Ahmed
Since May 2018, for over five years, I have been working as an engineer specializing in the ELK suite (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana). My interest in ELK dates back to version 2.x, well before the advent of Beats. During extended assignments at GRDF and Apave, I developed strong expertise in the Elastic stack.
I can assist you with the following topics:
* Incident response related to the Elasticsearch cluster
* Setting up a multi-node / Warm&hot ES cluster
* Setting up data ingestion pipelines via Logstash and native Beats agents
(Expert in log parsing - ECS - configuration of mappings, templates, etc.)
* Minor and/or major updates of the entire Elastic stack
* Creating dashboards (ES|QL)
* Setting up Elastic APM for your applications
* Migration to Graylog.
* Standardizing logs with Elastic ECS
* etc etc ..
