Abstract: 

LogStash can scale. From all-in-one boxes (S) to architectures that involve routing log-lines to separate parsing clusters run by different business units (L), LogStash can do it. In this talk, I will be going over the foundations of LogStash architectures; such as the components of LogStash, where it can be deployed, working with ElasticSearch, and an overview of human interfaces to this data.
