In this video, I will go through the process of deploying a Windows Server and Fleet Server, followed by enrolling the Fleet Server to the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana). I will also deploy the Elastic Agent to the Windows Server, allowing it to seamlessly ingest logs into the ELK stack for centralized monitoring and analysis.
The first step in this video involves setting up the Windows Server. Next, I will deploy the Fleet Server, which plays a crucial role in managing and coordinating the Elastic Agents on the network. The Fleet Server ensures that all agents are centrally managed, making it easy to handle a large-scale deployment.
Once the Fleet Server was up and running, I proceeded to enroll it into the ELK stack. This step ensures that the Fleet Server can communicate with Elasticsearch, enabling data to be indexed and stored in a scalable and efficient manner. Additionally, the Fleet Server will be responsible for managing the Elastic Agent on the Windows Server.
I will then install and configure the Elastic Agent on the Windows Server, which will start ingesting system logs, security data, and performance metrics into the ELK stack.
By the end of the video, I will have a fully functioning centralized log management system, where all our Windows Server logs are being ingested, processed, and visualized through Kibana, making it easier to monitor and analyse your infrastructure.
