Elasticsearch Logstash Kibana, also called “ELK Stack” or the “Elastic Stack.” They are a set of powerful tools used for collecting, storing, searching, and visualizing large volumes of data, particularly log and event data. Each component serves a specific purpose within this stack.

GitLab’s rich logging system, which utilizes JSON format, makes it straightforward to configure and read by the ELK Stack.

I authored the forum thread that contains the information on how to set this up. You can find it here.
