   The simplest architecture for the Beat platform setup consists of the Beats shippers, Elasticsearch and Kibana.
   This is nice and easy to get started with and enough for networks with small traffic. It also uses the

negative.code: [[beats-getting-started]]
  == Getting started
  
  A regular _Beats setup_ consists of:
  
   * Beats shippers to collect the data. You should install these on
     your servers so that they capture the data.
   * Elasticsearch for storage and indexing. <<elasticsearch-installation>>
   * Optionally Logstash. <<logstash-installation>>
   * Kibana for the UI. <<kibana-installation>>
   * Kibana dashboards to customize your widgets. <<load-kibana-dashboards>>
  
  NOTE:  For now, you can just install Elasticsearch and Kibana on a single VM or even
  on your laptop. The only condition is that this machine is accessible from the
  servers you want to monitor. As you add more shippers and your traffic grows, you
  will want replace the single Elasticsearch instance with a cluster. You will
  probably also want to automate the installation process.  But for now, let's
  just do the fun part.
