SoaSuiteElasticSearchKibana

In this article I am going to create a light-weigh dasboard build on ElasticSearch and Kibana which can monitor and analyse SOA Suite data. It is fast and easy to create. It is also extendible if you would like to do more analysis (Apache Spark), transform data before storing it (Logstash) or get data from other sources (Beats) and so on. In this example I will setup a SOA Suite Continue ReadingMonitor and analyse SOA Suite data using ElasticSearch and Kibana→
