Hello I am looking into using ElasticSearch as a search engine for one of the projects I am working on. There is still one thing which I need to find an answer for, and I hope someone inhere can help. The customer want to be able to see some search statistic, like google analytics. Most searched words, new search words and so on. Is there a way to easily setup this type of search statistic? My idea is something like ElasticSearch stores search history, about the search request made to the REST API. Then my customer can use Kibana or some other visual tool to monitor the search history of ElasticSearch. Another approch could be to set up LogStash to pick up all log entries to the IIS on search requests, and put em in ElasticSearch. Then they could be viewed with Kibana. Is anyone aware of a logstash pattern for IIS? Hope someone can help me with an answer for this.

ES doesn't store this natively, you'd have to put something in-between the user and ES to capture and collate this information. Your LS idea seems like a good one to solve it.

Some time ago I did something similar. But in our case we don't use IIS, and it was a bit more complex because we aggregated logs from different platforms. But it's doable. The must recent experience was feeding Solr logs from a legacy application, and application logs into ELK for analytics purposes.
