The blog post discusses the process of monitoring a Kafka cluster using the Elastic Stack, specifically focusing on utilizing Filebeat to collect and parse Kafka logs, which are then indexed into Elasticsearch for visualization in Kibana. The setup includes a Kafka cluster of three nodes, where Filebeat is configured to collect logs from various Kafka sources, including garbage collection stats, and process them using Elasticsearch Ingest Node pipelines. These pipelines employ grok patterns and scripts to parse and convert log data, extracting valuable information such as Java exception details and memory usage metrics. The data is then visualized using Kibana dashboards, which provide insights into log levels, stack traces, and garbage collection metrics, allowing users to identify potential issues and monitor system performance. The post highlights the flexibility of the Elastic Stack in accommodating custom configurations and encourages further exploration of dashboard functionalities to enhance monitoring capabilities.
