i have the log events stored in ES. I have to classify the log events ( errors, exceptions, 404, ..etc) i.e. apply machine learning to this data. Is it possible to do that with ES 5.x or 6,x ? if so how it can be done effectively using ELK stack?

Have you seen [https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/machine-learning](https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/machine-learning)?

What do you want to achieve by running ML?

Want to use the SVM classification algorithm and classify the log events. I am aware of X-Pack ML module which is used for anomaly detection using unsupervised clustering. But I want to use the supervised clustering algorithms like SVM and Random Forest to classify the log events.
