Hi Experts,

I was reading Elastic Common Schema (ECS) on Github. This is exactly I was about to ask as I am from Splunk Background . I am aware that it is still under development but I need to understand how it works , is it a plugin ?

I already have elasticserch 6.3 for testing , now please suggest what I need to do to implement ECS ?

Regards  
Vikas
