Title: Using Elastic to monitor everything

Description:

"Evolution of Elasticsearch - from unstructured to structured data
1. Search
2. Logging
3. Metrics

Technical deep dive on 1 - 2 features that allowed this evolution, probably:
- Columnar storage (doc values)
- Number storage (BKD trees)

Beats - open source framework for building agents/shippers/forwarders to collect and forward data
1. Logs (Filebeat, Winlogbeat)
2. Passive packet capture (Packetbeat)
2. Metrics (existing modules for Top, Apache/Nginx, Mysql/Postgresql, Redis, Cassandra, Docker, and many more)

Live demo of Packetbeat: running on my laptop, capturing live HTTP requests to websites I visit, all data including URLs, HTTP headers, etc. are immediately in Elasticsearch and are visualised with Kibana."
