The Elastic Stack is very popular for handling logs. When you use Elastic Cloud and Elastic Stack, Elastic Cloud takes care of the Elasticsearch and the Kibana components. For now, you will need to run Logstash yourself.

Configuring your Logstash agents to send log events to your Elasticsearch cluster on Elastic Cloud is easy.

To send logs to Elasticsearch, you will need to use the elasticsearch-output.

To point it at Elastic Cloud, you need to specify:

For example:

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => "1923a78952f7e6c94fa5c998e5fc6286c0941b90.eu-west-1.aws.found.io"
    user => "admin"
    password => "3r15qw0vibri9jv6rn"
    protocol => http
    ssl => true
    port => "9243"
  }
}
