Review on Equalum by Colin Arcos

Easy ingestion of big logs into Elasticsearch with simple configuration

I have been using equalum to ingest large amounts (tens or hundreds) of log events from various sources into one place that can be stored in an elasticsearch cluster for easy querying later down stream. The product has made it really simple to do this by offering all sorts of connectors to different event sourcing tools such as kafka/publish-subscribe systems etc along with integration points with third party services e.g., slack which makes setting up alerting very straight forward. There could use more integrations available across platforms i.e. Azure Event Hubs & AWS Kinesis Firehose are not supported yet but these will come soon enough once they launch their respective APIs. Also at present there isn't much documentation around how you would go about doing something complex so its best if someone who already uses the tool does some tutorials / blogs post to help others out! Using Logstash we were able to easily create streams off multiple micro.
