Hello Folks,
Can we place elasticserach stack for log search and visulization ?

Thanks

Well manticore-search can’t replace a ‘full stack’.

But it can be used in a ‘component’ in a log processing pipeline. Taking care of the actual indexing and querying backend. Still needs bits to input the data into Manticore, and provide search/visualization frontend (that queries manticore backend).

For example there has been some recent to allow LogStash or Filebeat to pipe data to Manticore backend

Honestly dont know if there are any good search/visualization frontends that can be easily connected to a manticore backend.

Oh, seems Graphana could be used as the frontend

Possibly any front end that uses mysql protocol to communicate with backend MIGHT well work with manticore. (as manticore provides a query interface, that uses a mysql protocol, and a query language very similar to mysql)

On the flipside manticore also has a HTTP interface, which as I understand it largely based on the elasticsearch HTTP interface. So perhaps most frontends that use elasticsearch could use manticore instead. (honesty can’t talk about this much, havnt used elasticsearch, nor use the HTTP interface)

We are working on it. There was a demo on visualizing Manticore in Kibana. Since then we’ve improved many things, but it’s still work in progress and many things are not publicly available.

Yes!
