• We can create alerts for certain threshold values so that we can get alerts without doing a continuous monitoring
• We can configure different Beats to monitor system metrics, database metrics, and log metrics, etc.
• We can configure the APM to monitor the application metrics and any application related issues.
• We can Configure the JDBC plugin of Logstash to pull RDBMS, CSV, or NoSQL data into Elasticsearch to make it available in Kibana for creating visualizations on different KPIs
• We can use different third-party plugins that help us to get data from different sources. For example, we can use the Twitter plugin to get the Twitter feeds
• We can apply machine learning on our data set to find any data anomaly or future trends by analyzing the current dataset
