Amazon Elasticsearch Service is a fully managed service that is easy to deploy, easy to secure, and cost effective at scale.

Features include:

  • Support for the tools that build, monitor, and troubleshoot your applications at the scale that you need.
  • Support for open source Elasticsearch APIs, managed Kibana, integration with Logstash and other AWS services, and built-in alerting and SQL querying.
  • Pay for only for what is used with no upfront costs or usage requirements. For example, you can get the ELK stack that you need, without the operational overhead.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
