Summary

The blog post by Marcin Tojek provides a comprehensive guide on using the elastic-package tool to create and bootstrap a new Elastic Integration, specifically for monitoring an IPFS Node application. The process involves setting up an Elastic Integration to collect logs and metrics from IoT devices using Elastic Agents, demonstrated through an example of tracking water usage to monitor leaks. The tutorial details creating a new package and data streams, configuring them without writing Go code by using YAML or JSON files, and running system tests. It also covers adjusting data stream configurations, using Docker to run an IPFS node, and employing the elastic-package tool to format, lint, build, and test the integration. The guide concludes by troubleshooting and verifying the integration's functionality within the Elastic stack, encouraging readers to explore creating more integrations and contributing to the Elastic Integrations repository.
