About this course

Machine Learning with the Elastic Stack is a comprehensive overview of the embedded commercial features of anomaly detection and forecasting. The course starts with installing and setting up Elastic Stack. You will perform time series analysis on varied kinds of data, such as log files, network flows, application metrics, and financial data. As you progress through the lessons, you will deploy machine learning within the Elastic Stack for logging, security, and metrics. In the concluding lessons, you will see how machine learning jobs can be automatically distributed and managed across the Elasticsearch cluster and made resilient to failure. By the end of this course, you will understand the performance aspects of incorporating machine learning within the Elastic ecosystem and create anomaly detection jobs and view results from Kibana directly.
