How can I set up ELK stack for logging in Docker?

To set up the ELK stack in Docker, you'll need to run Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana as Docker containers. Do you want a step-by-step guide?

Yes, please provide the steps.

First, create a Docker network for the ELK stack. Then, run Elasticsearch with the command: docker run -d --name elasticsearch --net elk-net -e "discovery.type=single-node" -p 9200:9200 elasticsearch:7.10.0. Next, run Logstash and configure it to read logs. Finally, run Kibana with: docker run -d --name kibana --net elk-net -p 5601:5601 kibana:7.10.0. Would you like help with the Logstash configuration?

Yes, what should the Logstash configuration look like?

The Logstash configuration file should specify the input, filter, and output sections. For example, you can use the following configuration to read from a file:

input {
  file {
    path => "/path/to/your/logfile.log"
    start_position => "beginning"
  }
}

filter {
  # Add your filters here
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => ["elasticsearch:9200"]
    index => "logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
  }
}
