## Logstash, Elasticsearch in an EC2_AWS enviroment
Here I will go over how to setup Logstash, Kibana, Redis, and Elasticsearch in an EC2 environment behind a public Load Balancer. The setup I'll be doing will have:

1) One server for Redis to act as the broker/buffer to receive logs.
2) One server using Logstash receive logs from Redis and parse/index them over to Elasticsearch.
3) One server for Elasticsearch to receive logs and Kibana to view them in a browser.
4) One server to send the logs using logstash.
5) One public Load Balancer.

This may seem like a lot but follow these steps and you'll get the hang of it :)
