Hi,

I'm new here. Planning to use elastic cloud to

1. get logs from AWS ECS containers
2. get metrics (CPU, RAM) from ECS container instance (EC2)
3. get metrics (CPU, RAM) from running containers
4. get APM metrics from my node.js app running in containers

I did some researches but got quite confused about many Beats, logstash, syslog, APM server.

Please give me some direction about the goals.

Thanks,  
Jo
