ELK Stack
Also written as Elastic Stack, Logstash, Kibana, Log Aggregation
A common set of tools (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for collecting logs from many systems into one searchable place, so engineers aren't SSHing into individual servers to read log files during an incident.
Think of it like
Like a company mailroom that collects every department's memos into one searchable archive, instead of engineers having to visit each department's own filing cabinet.
