Deploy a complete Kubernetes observability demo that sends pod, host, network, and application signals into Elastic using Beats and a sample guestbook workload.

What is included

  • Kubernetes YAML manifests for Filebeat, Metricbeat, Packetbeat, Elasticsearch, and the guestbook demo application.
  • Setup notes for Elastic Cloud credentials, kube-state-metrics, and validating the data in Kibana.
  • Helper files from the original Elastic examples folder, including the upstream README and Apache 2.0 license.

Who it helps

This pack is a practical lab for platform and observability teams that want to see how Kubernetes events, metrics, and packet data can flow into Elastic. It is best used as a learning or demo environment before adapting the manifests to modern production Kubernetes standards.

Compatibility

The source README does not state a specific Elastic Stack version. Compatibility was checked and intentionally left unset.

Source and license

Source: elastic/examples MonitoringKubernetes. The upstream repository is licensed under Apache 2.0, and the license file is included in the ZIP.
