The ELK Stack is a collection of three open-source products — Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. They are all developed, managed, and maintained by the company Elastic.
* E stands for ElasticSearch: It is used for storing logs.
* L stands for LogStash: It is used for both shipping as well as the processing and storing logs.
* K stands for Kibana: It is a visualization tool (a web interface) that is hosted through Nginx or Apache.
