Answer from AI

In ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), documents typically store structured or semi-structured data, such as:

  • Application logs — records of events, errors, requests, and responses.
  • System logs — data about the operating system, services, security.
  • Monitoring metrics and events — performance indicators, service status.
  • Transactional data — if business event analysis is needed.

Each document in Elasticsearch is a JSON object with a set of fields that can be indexed and searched. For example, an HTTP request log might contain fields: timestamp, method, url, status, response_time, etc.

Thus, ELK is used for storing and analyzing large volumes of logs and events, enabling quick search and visualization of data.
