Hi ES Users, I was wondering if anyone knows whether its a) possible and b) done elsewhere to use ES, logstash and kibana to collect and analyse user data from learning management systems like moodle, blackboard, desire2learn and combine it with other data sources to create a platform to monitor and report on student performance & interactions with learning resources with the aim of flagging possible issues before they result in dropping out Its not log4j but also not a million miles away being time stamped data. I've no insight into the possible sources of the data but just interested to know if others are doing something similar Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, ES and Kibana - yes. Logstash - no need to use that for this sort of data. All you need is _something_ to feed data to ES. Any sort of ES client will do. Try [Sematext Logs | Cloud Log Management Service | Hosted ELK](http://sematext.com/logsene/) -- you can feed it your data/events and query it programmatically (it exposes an ES API) or access your data via Kibana which you'll see once you create your Logsene app. It's free. ## Otis Performance Monitoring \* Log Analytics \* Search Analytics Solr & Elasticsearch Support \* [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) On Thursday, November 21, 2013 10:26:06 AM UTC-5, michael...@ul.ie wrote: > Hi ES Users, > > I was wondering if anyone knows whether its a) possible and b) done > elsewhere to use ES, logstash and kibana to collect and analyse user data > from learning management systems like moodle, blackboard, desire2learn and > combine it with other data sources to create a platform to monitor and > report on student performance & interactions with learning resources with > the aim of flagging possible issues before they result in dropping out > > Its not log4j but also not a million miles away being time stamped data. > I've no insight into the possible sources of the data but just interested > to know if others are doing something similar > > Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think because of the personal nature of the data and the long period it could be active for (4 year for an undergrad degree) and the need to keep the data for defined periods after that any solution would probably have to have a way to store the data long term in validated locations probably on-premise On Friday, November 22, 2013 2:49:13 AM UTC, Otis Gospodnetic wrote: > Hi, > > ES and Kibana - yes.
