We have begun exploring ELK as means to provide a method for operators to analyze logs. We are required to provide a user access control function and as I understand xpack is the way accomplish it. After installing the ELK stack as a Docker container I cannot find any evidence xpack is part of the stack.

Is xpack part of the ELK Docker container?  
If not how can I get and it would be installed in the Container or on the Host?

Humbly,

Carl

X-Pack is indeed part of the Elastic Stack 🙂

Where did you get the docker containers from?

I believe we pulled it from Elastic. How can I confirm that?

Check the URL you used to get the image or use `docker images`.

You'd have to ask the author then.

You can also use our officially maintained containers here - [https://www.docker.elastic.co/](https://www.docker.elastic.co/), which come with X-Pack.

Since you cleared this up we downloaded the ELKX container.

Thanks for you help Mark
