Chapter 1 Review and Looking Ahead

In this chapter, we’ve explored the core components of the LOGG stack: Linux, OpenSearch, Grafana, Go, and Logstash. Each of these tools plays a vital role in creating a powerful, customizable network monitoring and analytics platform. We’ve delved into why each component was chosen, how they work together, and the flexibility they bring to the table.

As we move forward, we’ll get hands-on with installing and configuring these components, starting with setting up the Linux environment. From there, we’ll build out the stack, integrating each tool and exploring advanced customizations to meet the specific needs of your network. Future chapters will guide you through creating custom pollers, visualizing data in real-time, and leveraging the full power of open-source technology. Stay tuned as we transform this foundation into a dynamic, fully-functional monitoring system.
