Hi Amit,

can you try and explain a little bit more what exactly you are trying to do? Otherwise people here will struggle to give helpful advice.

Hello,

I have 25 URLs coming from Cloudfoundry .

I want to monitor the URLs if they are up or down using ELK .

Thanks in advance

You could use Elasticsearch, Logstash and Watcher for this, but I don't see why. For monitoring (and, presumably, alerting) of services there are better tools than the Elastic stack.
