Summary

The Elastic Team kept core components in Elastic Stack and supporting features separately as X-Pack, which is an important asset for any organization. In this chapter, we learned about two of the X-Pack team members: Security and Monitoring. We got to set up X-Pack with Elasticsearch and Kibana. Under security, we learned to manage users, roles, privileges, and so on, while Monitoring helped us to look at different visualizations showcasing the real-time statistics of Elasticsearch and Kibana instances.

In the next chapter, we will cover the rest of the components of X-Pack: alerts, graphs, and reporting.
