Stack Monitoring cluster overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview The ELK Stack is the leading open source observability platform. Elasticsearch is the distributed search and analytics engine, Logstash is the ingestion pipeline, and Kibana is the visual analytics interface. This image delivers the three components fully installed and configured as a single-node deployment, so a complete log analytics platform is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is the latest stable 8.x line.
Application Stack Elasticsearch 8.x serves the search and storage backend on TCP 9200 with HTTP authentication enabled. Logstash 8.x runs an ingestion pipeline with a Beats input on TCP 5044 ready for Filebeat and Metricbeat agents. Kibana 8.x serves the web UI on TCP 5601, fronted by nginx on TCP 80 with HTTP basic authentication. Conservative JVM heaps are tuned for a 4 GB instance; customers raise them in the bundled jvm.options.d drop-in files at launch.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service rotates the Elasticsearch 'elastic' superuser password and generates a fresh nginx basic-auth password, both unique to that instance, and writes them to a root-only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The Elasticsearch single-node cluster, the Logstash pipeline with the Beats input, the Kibana web UI, the nginx reverse proxy and all systemd units are configured. Browse to the instance address and sign in to start exploring indices, building dashboards and pointing Beats agents at the ingestion endpoint.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). Kibana is served behind nginx on port 80: browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in as the 'cloudimg' user. Retrieve the generated passwords with: sudo cat /root/elk-credentials.txt. Elasticsearch listens on port 9200 (HTTP basic auth as the 'elastic' user). Logstash accepts Beats on port 5044. To enable HTTPS, follow the reverse proxy section of the user guide.
