Build practical skills in designing, deploying, and debugging Logstash pipelines through guided, project-based case studies. You’ll begin by installing Elasticsearch, configuring project files, establishing a development database, and setting up the services required for a microservice environment. You’ll then use Docker, Docker Compose, and YAML configurations to build and orchestrate multi-container applications, manage entry points and volumes, and validate communication between services. As you progress, you’ll examine application data flow and configure the ELK stack—Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana—for centralized logging. Two realistic case studies will help you connect configuration and deployment concepts with hands-on log analysis and troubleshooting. You’ll use Kibana and Docker configurations to inspect service logs, evaluate application behavior, and debug issues in containerized environments. Designed for aspiring DevOps engineers and backend developers, this course gives you focused experience with Logstash pipelines, Docker orchestration, Elasticsearch, and Kibana. By the end, you’ll be able to configure project environments, deploy multi-service applications, implement centralized logging, analyze data pipelines, and troubleshoot service behavior. Its end-to-end case-study approach makes each concept immediately applicable to modern containerized application workflows.

Syllabus

  • Setting Up the Project Environment
    • This module introduces learners to the foundational components of the Logstash project environment, guiding them through Elasticsearch installation, database setup, application configuration, and container orchestration essentials.
  • Docker and Application Orchestration
    • Learners explore the principles of container-based deployment using Docker and docker-compose, gaining practical insights into orchestrating multi-service applications and automating service definitions.
  • Deep Dive into Case Study 1 and ELK Stack
    • This module dissects a real-world use case to illustrate data flow within the ELK stack, including installation, configuration, and visualization of service logs using Logstash and Kibana.
  • Case Study 2 and Debugging
    • Building on previous modules, this final module guides learners through a second case study involving advanced orchestration, entrypoint and volume management, and log inspection using Kibana for debugging.
