How to leverage RSS feeds to inform the possibilities with Elastic Stack
Blog post from Elastic
Elasticians Jordyn Short, Dave Sanchez, and Connie Crites developed a project called "A Quick RSS Cybersecurity News Feed" using Elastic Stack tools like Logstash, Elasticsearch, and Kibana to consolidate, visualize, and search cybersecurity content efficiently. By leveraging RSS feeds and the Logstash RSS input plugin, they designed a system to import and aggregate cybersecurity news from multiple sources, reducing the time spent manually visiting sites. The project employs Elasticsearch for real-time search and analytics, utilizing component and index templates to manage data types and fields effectively. Kibana enhances the project's analytical capabilities, allowing users to create dashboards and visualizations to monitor trends in cybersecurity threats. The initiative aims to aid the cybersecurity and OSINT communities by providing a streamlined, stealthy approach to accessing and analyzing cybersecurity information.
