ELK Elasticsearch Kibana Filebeat what format settings to use for Elixir logs?
Hello,
i have several elixir/phoenix applications and have setup an ELK stack (elasticsearch logstash kibana) with Filebeat sending default console ouput elixir/phoenix logs from the different applications to elasticsearch.
Since there is no build in support for Elixir into ELK I was wondering, is anyone running a similar setup for log aggregation and if so, how did you formatted the elixir/phoenix log format to work elegantly in kibana?
Thanks!!!

I recently read a very good book which goes into great detail in Ch11 and Ch12 about setting up open source log and metric aggregation for Elixir Apps using Grafana, Loki, Promtail, Promethius, and Alloy. I know it’s not ELK stack and I haven’t actually set this up personally (I am using a paid service in production) but it was the best resource I could find on this topic. Hope it helps!

I looked into it a while ago and concluded that going the OpenSearch route with Fluent Bit is probably the better option. I believe it was something like configuring the formatter to log into json files, then having fluentbit pick that up. But we ended up going with Datadog so I never got it running to try it out properly.
