Therefore, having a single queryable tool for aggregating and storing logs is paramount. One open source implementation of a log aggregation stack is the elastic stack comprised of Elasticsearch for storing logs, Logstash for collecting logs, and Kibana, which provides a query interface for accessing logs.
