Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana are the three open-source products which are part of the collection called ELK stack. It is a robust solution for search, analyzes, and visualization of data. As we already know Elasticsearch is distributed RESTful search and analytics NoSQL engine based on Lucene, the light-weight data processing pipeline or Logstash is used for managing events and logs from many different sources and Kibana which is a web application is used for data visualization that works on top of Elsticsearch. This tutorial on installing ELK Stack on CentOS 7, should be good for any other Linux VPS systems, but originally it was intended or in other words written and tested for a CentOS-based virtual private server. The task of <strong>installing ELK Stack on CentOS 7<\/strong> should be easy, you just need to follow the steps which are given below and the job will be done in less than ten minutes.

Install Java<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Elastic stack deployment requires Java. It supports both OpenJDK and Oracle Java. we recommend using the Oracle JDK 1.8. We will install Java 8 from the official Oracle rpm package.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Java 8 JDK can be downloaded with the following wget command.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header \"Cookie: gpw_e24=http:%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F; oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie\" \"http:\/\/download.oracle.com\/otn-pub\/java\/jdk\/8u77-b02\/jdk-8u171-linux-x64.rpm\"<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The next step is the installation with this rpm command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">rpm -ivh jdk-8u171-linux-x64.rpm<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At this point, you should check the Java JDK installation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">java -version<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>if everything is installed all right, you will see the following output:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">java version \"1.8.0_172\"\r\nJava(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_172-b11)\r\nJava HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.172-b11, mixed mode)<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Install-and-Configure-Elasticsearch-on-CentOS-7\"><\/span>3. Install and Configure Elasticsearch on CentOS 7<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now is time for Elasticsearch to be installed and configured. We will use rpm package for this installation which is provided by elastic.co and then we will configure it to run on localhost ( all this is to be sure that we have made the setup secure and to make sure that it can not be reached from the outside).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You should add the elastic.co key to the server prior to the installation of Elasticsearch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">rpm --import https:\/\/artifacts.elastic.co\/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Then you should use wget in order to download Elasticsearch 6.2 and initiate the installation<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget https:\/\/artifacts.elastic.co\/downloads\/elasticsearch\/elasticsearch-6.2.4.rpm\r\nrpm -ivh elasticsearch-6.2.4.rpm<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At this point when Elasticsearch is already installed, you need to go to the configuration directory and edit the elasticsaerch.yml configuration file.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano \/etc\/elasticsearch\/elasticsearch.yml<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Then you should remove a comment on line 40 in order to enable the memory lock for Elasticsearch. This disables memory swapping for Elasticsearch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">bootstrap.memory_lock: true<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After that, you need to uncomment the network.host and http.port lines in the &#8220;Network&#8221; block.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">network.host: localhost\r\nhttp.port: 9200<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Don`t forget to save the file and then you can exit the editor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next, you should edit the elasticsearch.service file for the configuration of the memory lock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">vim \/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/elasticsearch.service<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Uncomment LimitMEMLOCK line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">LimitMEMLOCK=infinity<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Again, don`t forget to save and then exit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The next step is to edit the sysconfig configuration file for Elasticsearch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano \/etc\/sysconfig\/elasticsearch<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now you need to uncomment line 60 and make sure the value is &#8216;unlimited&#8217;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">MAX_LOCKED_MEMORY=unlimited<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Save and exit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Completing all these steps means that you have finished the Elasticsearch configuration on CentOS 7. The localhost IP address on port 9200 will run the Elasticsearch,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before you start the service first you should reload systems and enable Elasticsearch to start at boot time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl daemon-reload\r\nsystemctl enable elasticsearch\r\nsystemctl start elasticsearch<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After a few seconds the Elasticsearch will start and then you should check the open ports on the server and double check that &#8216;state&#8217; for port 9200 is &#8216;LISTEN&#8217;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4Install-and-configure-Kibana-on-CentOS-7\"><\/span>4.Install and configure Kibana on CentOS 7<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you reach this point, the following thing on the list is the installation and configuration of Kibana with a Nginx web server. Kibana will listen on the localhost IP address and Nginx acts as a reverse proxy for the Kibana application.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You should use wget in order to download Kibana 6.2.4 and then you should install it using the rpm command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">wget https:\/\/artifacts.elastic.co\/downloads\/kibana\/kibana-6.2.4-x86_64.rpm\r\nrpm -ivh kibana-6.2.4-x86_64.rpm<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next step is editing the Kibana configuration file.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano \/etc\/kibana\/kibana.yml<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Uncomment the configuration lines for server.port, server.host and elasticsearch.url.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">server.port: 5601\r\nserver.host: \"localhost\"\r\nelasticsearch.url: \"http:\/\/localhost:9200\"<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The changes need to be saved and then you can exit.<br>Start the Kibana service and set it to start automatically on boot:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl enable kibana\r\nsystemctl start kibana<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You have now finished the installation of Kibana.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Install-and-configure-Nginx\"><\/span>5.
