I'm glad #OpenSearch kept the open source part of #Elasticsearch patched and buildable, but the basic experience of looking at some log files is like stepping into a time machine. Strip away all the plugins bolted on to handle interesting-but-niche use cases, and what's left is a version of #Kibana that hasn't changed in nearly a decade. I should not need to download #Filebeats 7.10 in 2023, but I'm also not going to set up some streaming data pipeline just to watch website logs.

(4/8) 🧵

I'm looking for an idiot's guide to creating users and roles in #elkstack, specifically for #filebeats at the moment. The #elasticsearch docs are good, but a bit non-specific on authentication/authorisation.
