Hi, I want to setup an ELK stack without wasting time. That's why I ask here before starting. My environment is simple: all traffic comes in from localhost. There is only one server for the ELK setup. But there will be several ELK stacks running in the future. But again each traffic will come in only from localhost. The systems will run isolated. I see these solutions: - take a docker container - do it by hand (RPM install) - use Chef/Puppet. But up to now we don't use any of those tools. - any other idea? What do you think?

If you don't want to waste time then automation is the key.
