One of the main plugins we were using with our 2.x Elasticsearch cluster was KOPF. This plugin was a web interface to the Elasticsearch API and it was an easy way of performing common tasks on our Elasticsearch cluster.

When we upgraded our Elasticsearch cluster to version 5.x, we could not continue using this plugin because it was not longer supported. The good thing was that the author of KOPF, Leonardo Menezes, had a new project called "CEREBRO" to offer an alternative to KOPF when running Elasticsearch 5.x.

A presentation about why and how we are using data analysis of log information at the University of Oslo with elasticsearch, logstash and kibana.

This presentation is a tour of the job done at the University of Oslo in the areas of automation, monitoring, data analysis and trending during 2015.
