Who are we at Elastic Consulting Hungary?
The company was established in 2020 in order to provide professional services in the design, implementation and use of Elastic Stack and Opensearch platforms. We have participated in several large-scale international project at public utility, banking and telecommunication sectors. Beside of these we have helped plenty of companies to use the power of their data (searchability, analysis).
Why Elastic Stack?
Elastic Stack is a perfect choice for cyber security, data searching and observability (monitoring, alerting and much more) solutions. This stack is highly recommended for large amount of raw data (>= 1Tb/day) to be processes near real-time and the data should be stored with certain retention policies. Elastic Stack is a good choice also when the customer would like to integrate their data of their existing monitoring solution into one single store in order to visualize / analyze together. Because of Elasticsearch (the heart of the Elastic Stack) the users can achieve fast search results from different sources (log data, system metrics, uptime information, plain text data, network traffic and much more). It is also a perfect choice if the scalability of the solution is a crucial point for the further growth. Elastic Stack also provides Machine Learning features for anomaly detections, predictions and decision support.

APM (Application performance management)
In the field of information technology and systems management, application performance management (APM) is the monitoring and management of the performance and availability of software applications. APM seeks to detect and diagnose complex application performance issues to maintain expected service levels.
Since the digital world has a significant impact on our daily lives, often some loss of functionality or slowdown can cause a significant deterioration of the experience on a given platform. APM tools are important to detect, mitigate and eliminate the processes that caused the given error as soon as possible.

SIEM (Security information and event management)
Security information and event management (SIEM) is an area of computer security where software products and services combine security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM). They provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware.

Web and Enterprise Search
Enterprise search is the practice of making content from multiple types of sources, such as databases and intranets, searchable for a specific audience.
"Enterprise search" is used to describe information retrieval software within an organization. Enterprise search can be contrasted with web search, which applies search technology to documents on the open web and to desktop searches.
Enterprise search systems index data and documents from many sources, such as: file systems, intranets, document management systems, email, and databases. Many enterprise search systems integrate structured and unstructured data into their collections.
Monitoring
With Elastic Stack a full-scale observability solution can be implemented out-of-the-box. This implementation can monitor the infrastructure (uptime/metrics) and provides log analysis feature. It can handle even hybrid (on-premise/cloud) systems together. The Monitoring solution provide large amount of pre-defined dashboard and alert to help the work of the network/infrastructure operators. Besides of the default components additional elements can be implemented (visualizations, alerts, ML jobs, etc.) to fully support the IT operational needs.
Analysis
Visualization
Alerting
Prediction
In any sectors where data is created there will be a need to store, process and use it.
The solutions based on Elastic Stack or Opensearch can be used in several sectors
Banking solutions
In banking sector Elastic Stack is primarily used as a basis of monitoring, alerting and fraud detection systems. At the same time, it is also possible to compile a marketing inspection solution for the analysis of customer data with this package.
– To meet and exceed rapidly changing customer expectations.
– Maintaining and increasing customer retention.
– Be flexible in meeting new and ongoing regulatory requirements.
– Speeds up risk assessment.
– Manage ongoing cyber security attacks and risk management.
– Handle partner and borrower risk analysis in capital management.
Manufacturing and process optimization
The manufacturing processes of today are increasingly automated, and the use of Elastic Stack is the perfect solution for monitoring these processes. Furthermore, the machine learning solution of the system can also be used to predict the needs of the processes.
The transformation of digital manufacturing is accelerating, the shortage of skilled labor and the preference of employees to work remotely is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Thus, industrial digitalization and Industry 4.0 are now more likely than ever to accelerate. A McKinsey study emphasizes that machine learning (ML) can improve the accuracy of demand planning and forecasting by more than 85%. Tools that integrate ML with data analytics serve additional applications such as predictive maintenance, robotic process automation, and anomaly detection.
Telecommunication sector
Similar to banking solutions, the telecommunications sector also has serious opportunities in the use of Elastic Stack in similar areas (network monitoring, alerts, fraud detection, marketing analysis). Since the operation of the telecommunications service provider's network involves a very large amount of data (even more than in the case of banks or utilities), an operational capacity comparable to the Elastic Stack is essential for the near-real-time processing/management of this data.
Furthermore, to provide a solution for the management and analysis of the huge amount of data generated in the m2m area - these data represent a huge value not only for the service provider, but also for the service provider's customers/partners. Thanks to Elastic Stack's advanced data security solutions, customers/partners can easily be offered relevant data, while they will not have any access to data that is not their own.
Public utilities
Public service providers have a huge amount of data as a result of their daily operations. The data generated in this way can be transformed into information with the help of Elastic Stack. Based on this data, a complete monitoring and alarm system can be built, and training demand predictions can be made using machine learning.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solutions, especially machine learning, allows utilities to harness the power of their data to make mission-critical decisions. When utilities apply machine learning to manage risk, they are better prepared to meet the challenges of the current environment and be ready for what lies ahead.
Why OpenSearch
It may happen that the customer does not choose Elastic Search after all. In this case, OpenSearch is a community-based search and analysis package based on the Apache 2.0 license and open source. It is most often used for real-time application monitoring and log analysis. OpenSearch provides a reliable system for quickly accessing and responding to large amounts of data. Its integrated visualization tools, the OpenSearch Dashboards, are designed in an user-friendly way. OpenSearch is built on the Apache Lucene search library, which is why it supports many search and analysis options (nearest neighbors - NN search, SQL, anomaly detection, machine learning Commons, trace analysis, full-text search).
Information from data
The information itself is a value. This value can be sociological, scientific, economical or even political. With proper information men can extend the existing value. While the information is value, that means it can gain extra profit. The meaningful attributes of the information are the quality, the quantity, the usability, accessibility and the protection of it.
It is quite common in the 21th century to describe the data and analysis of it as a large business potential. The “Big Data” has changed our thinking about the data and about the life. We can transfer the data to information then to business decision much quicker and in more intelligent manner than at least 10 years ago. There were huge leaps in processing of the data in the last decade. There is nearly no activity with what we are not producing data in our everyday life. We can help you use them.
Our projects
Some of our projects
Banking and financial sector
We are pleased that we were able to finalize the Elastic Cloud-based alerting-monitoring and event management solution with our partner RS2. In this way, we unified the supervision of the systems handling payment transactions, and it became possible to issue alerts based on interdependent sub-applications (Cross Application Alerting). We were able to introduce Elastic Stack's machine learning in the field of monitoring financial transactions, thereby freeing up time and energy resources. Through trend analysis, more accurate alerts and transaction number forecasts were realized for leading international banks and Fintech companies.
Public utilities - critical infrastructures
We received an invitation from the American company Itron that we could participate as a member of an international team in the implementation of system monitoring planned for the electricity and gas distribution company of a South-East Asian dwarf state, affecting their entire electrical network. Our task was no less than the development and implementation of detailed plans based on the existing architecture plans of the entire monitoring system. Among the technologies used was the connection of Nagios and Elastic Stack to the Federos Assure1 error ticket manager via SNMP Traps. Complete visualization in Kibana for dozens of components and create alerts. Finally, combined into an installation package created on the basis of Ansible, which provides a way to install in an environment without internet access.
