      What is Logstash?

      Logstash is a tool for managing events and logs. You can use it to collect logs, parse them, and store them for later use (like, for searching). If you store them in Elasticsearch, you can view and analyze them with Kibana.

      What is OK Log?

      OK Log is a distributed and coördination-free log management system for big ol' clusters. It's an on-prem solution that's designed to be a sort of building block: easy to understand, easy to operate, and easy to extend.

      What is StatsD?

      It is a network daemon that runs on the Node.js platform and listens for statistics, like counters and timers, sent over UDP or TCP and sends aggregates to one or more pluggable backend services (e.g., Graphite).
