Hi Sigurd,
the Foundation articles still exist on found.no, but you need the exact URLs to access them.
Here's a list:
This is part two in the series about using Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash with Found by Elastic. In the previous post, we used Logstash 1.5 and Kibana 4.02 to communicate with Elasticsearch in the cloud. This time we will use Logstash to feed...
This is part one of a two post blog series, aiming to demonstrate how to feed logs from IIS into Elasticsearch and Kibana via Logstash, using the hosted services provided by Found by Elastic. This post will deal with setting up the basic...

Found provides hosted Elasticsearch as a service. Our goal is to make it effortless to provision and manage clusters, whether they are for production, staging or just experimenting. This article briefly describes how to spin up a cluster, as well as...
In this article series, we look at Elasticsearch from a new perspective. We'll start at the 'bottom' (or close enough!) of the many abstraction levels, and gradually move upwards towards the user-visible layers, studying the various internal data...
Elasticsearch easily lets you develop amazing things, and it has gone to great lengths to make Lucene's features readily available in a distributed setting. However, when it comes to running Elasticsearch in production, you still have a fairly...
This article will give an introduction to the mapping feature of Elasticsearch. We'll define the key terms and take a closer look at what mapping is, when we specify it, how it is structured and how we can apply it to our data.
This article introduces the networking part of Elasticsearch. We look at the network topology of an Elasticsearch cluster, which connections are established between which nodes and how the different Java clients works. Finally, we look a bit closer...
Elasticsearch does not perform authentication or authorization, leaving that as an exercise for the developer. This article gives an overview of things to keep in mind when you configure the security settings for your Elasticsearch cluster, providing...
The previous article in this series, Elasticsearch from the Bottom Up, covered essential data structures within a single shard. In this article, we will look at the distributed nature of Elasticsearch.
Full-text search is an interesting field for backend developers: it requires raw technical knowledge, knowledge about the input languages and lots of feedback gathering on the usability side. In this article, I'd like to give you a rough overview of...
Elasticsearch's Fuzzy query is a powerful tool for a multitude of situations. Username searches, misspellings, and other funky problems can oftentimes be solved with this unconventional query. In this article we clarify the sometimes confusing...
Elasticsearch has some very good support for geo locations. You can store locations, use distances to filter and even use distances to group using aggregations. Elasticsearch also has something called geo shapes - no worries, we'll explain later on...
One of the trickiest parts of integrating Elasticsearch into an existing app is figuring out how to manage the flow of data from an authoritative data source, such as an SQL database, into Elasticsearch. In most cases this means utilizing...

We're often asked 'How big a cluster do I need?', and it's usually hard to be more specific than 'Well, it depends!'. There are so many variables, where knowledge about your application's specific workload and your performance expectations are just...
Using plugins, it's possible to add new functionality to Elasticsearch without having to create a fork of Elasticsearch itself. In this article, we will go through the steps required to create a new Elasticsearch plugin from the ground up.
Let's explore Apache ZooKeeper, a distributed coordination service for distributed systems. Needless to say, there are plenty of use cases! At Found, for example, we use ZooKeeper extensively for discovery, resource allocation, leader election and...
Hope this helps
