Before you can search, analyze, or visualize anything in Elasticsearch, you need data ingestion. In this quick guide, we explain how data moves from raw logs, metrics, or JSON into an index using tools like Logstash, Beats, or language clients. Learn why consistency matters more than perfection and how once data is ingested, it’s ready for search, analysis, and insight.

Missed it live? Catch the full recording of OpenTelemetry Deep Dive: Resilience & High Availability in the OTel Collector — a 1-hour workshop on building telemetry pipelines that never drop a signal. We’ll show you why resilience matters, how to design high-availability architectures, and how to configure the OpenTelemetry Collector with retries, batching, and persistent queues. Plus, you’ll see live demos in both Docker and Kubernetes — including scaling Gateway collectors with an HPA — and how Bindplane makes large-scale management seamless.

Elasticsearch mappings turn logs from unstructured text into usable data. In this video, we explain what mappings are, how they define fields like text, number, and date, and why they matter. With the right mappings, Elasticsearch can filter error codes, sort by response time, and group results by browser, region, or version.

The video discusses the advantages of using OpenTelemetry Collector over Sumo Logic's installed collectors for data collection and observability. It highlights key features and serves as a guide for organizations considering the transition to OpenTelemetry.
