Hello,
I've spent the afternoon running through this Ubuntu guide to installing ELK [https://kifarunix.com/install-elastic-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04/](https://kifarunix.com/install-elastic-elk-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04/)
It seems like it's all working, but by next step is to add ElastiFlow so I can send data from a Cisco router to it.
The thing is I can't find and idiots guide to install it into my ELK stack, what do I need to do to get ElastiFLow added please I'm so confused.
Thanks
