In this series of posts, I run through the process of aggregating logs with Wildfly, Filebeat, ElasticSearch and Kibana. In this post, I install and configure Filebeat on the simple Wildfly/EC2 instance from Log Aggregation - Wildfly. Now that we’ve got our really simple application up and running producing some log output, it’s time to get those logs over to the ElasticSearch domain. For the purpose of shipping logs from instances to ElasticSearch I’ve been involved with a project where we’re using Logstash to do this task.

In this series of posts, I run through the process of aggregating logs with Wildfly, Filebeat, ElasticSearch and Kibana. In Log Agrgegation - ElasticSearch & Kibana I went through creating the ElasticSearch domain but now we need to create some logs to play with. For this post, I setup a simple Wildfly instance with a basic Java application to produce some logs. I have provisioned a simple EC2 instance with Wildfly and deployed a really simple application to it.
