My task is to configure logstash to receive twitter posts that are related to a certain event. Based on that I need to be able to search for terms specified. From what I've read so far, I need the whole ELK stack to query the terms. I think I can configure it based on this configuration [http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/06/01/indexing-twitter-with-logstash-and-elasticsearch/](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/06/01/indexing-twitter-with-logstash-and-elasticsearch/). But again, I can receive a tons of tweets in the log file but cannot query them properly. Any ideas please?? ---
