Hi everyone,

I’ve successfully installed on premises Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, and Elastic Agent/Fleet Server on my Ubuntu server. I’m now exploring the SIEM features in the Elastic Stack free tier, but I’m a bit unclear about what capabilities are available and what’s limited compared to the paid (Standard/Enterprise) licenses.

Specifically, I’d like to know:

What core SIEM functionalities are included in the free tier?

Which features (like detections, cases, threat intelligence, or rule automation) are restricted?

Are there any practical use cases I can still implement using the free tier for learning or small-scale monitoring?

Any insights or official documentation links would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
