Installing SEAL Elastic Stack¶

Overview¶

The installation consists of a server and a client part which you have to install separately.

Server:

The server part includes Elasticsearch and Kibana. You have to install it on the
- Management server
Client:

The client part contains Filebeat. Depending on your system you have to install it on the following servers:
- PLOSSYS Output Engine server
- PLOSSYS 4 server
- SEAL Operator server

Management Server¶

Hint - disc Space

Make sure that you have enough disk space available on the installation device. If the amount of free space is less than about 10 % of the device's total capacity, Elasticsearch will lock the created indices and Kibana will not start properly.
