Elkwin: ELK Stack for Windows Systems
Elkwin is a Windows-based implementation of the ELK stack. It packages Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, and a Java Server Runtime Environment (JRE) into a standalone, ready-to-use solution for searching, analysing, and visualising structured and unstructured data in real time.
Elasticsearch is a search and analytics engine built on Apache Lucene. It provides a distributed, multi-tenant full-text search engine with a RESTful web interface and schema-free JSON documents.
Logstash is used to collect, parse, and transform log and event data before storing it in Elasticsearch for indexing and analysis.
Kibana provides a web-based interface for exploring and visualising data stored in Elasticsearch, allowing users to search logs, build dashboards, and create visual representations of collected data.
By bundling these components for Windows, Elkwin makes it easier to deploy and operate an ELK stack without requiring a separate Linux-based environment.
