Infrastructure and Logs UI: New Ops Tools in Elasticsearch

In the release of version 6.5 of the Elastic Stack, two new beta interfaces, the Infrastructure and Logs UIs, were introduced to enhance data interaction. The Logs UI provides a user-friendly way to access log data similar to the traditional tail -f command, allowing users to filter logs by criteria such as errors or specific labels, thus simplifying the process of dealing with large volumes of data. Configuration is straightforward, involving adjustments to the Kibana configuration file to integrate various data sources. On the other hand, the Infrastructure UI is designed to help operations teams manage infrastructure by visualizing key indicators like CPU, memory, and traffic for hosts, Kubernetes pods, and Docker containers. This UI supports grouping and filtering to allow users to focus on specific device subsets, with minimal setup required if using default configurations. Both UIs aim to streamline data management and visualization, and feedback is encouraged to refine these tools further.
