Summary

In this third installment of the "Elastic SIEM for home and small business" series, the focus is on setting up an ingest pipeline to enrich data with GeoIP information and reviewing common Beats configurations. The blog outlines the process of signing into the Kibana instance of an Elasticsearch Service deployment using an elastic superuser account to configure the necessary settings. It emphasizes the importance of standardizing data settings across various Beats such as Auditbeat, Filebeat, Packetbeat, and Winlogbeat, and provides guidance on configuring top-level processor settings and the Elastic Cloud output. Additionally, the post discusses the importance of enabling monitoring for individual Beats in Stack Monitoring in Kibana, and configuring internal queue settings for retaining events during internet outages or system downtime. Readers are encouraged to delve into documentation to tailor configurations to their specific needs, with an emphasis on preparing for data collection in the subsequent part of the series.
