Dear employer.
Looking at your project description, using simple file input of logstash will ingest the LOG4j config file.
However, complexity of logstash pipeline will depend on the context you want to show on kibana dashboard which means I will create fields for "kibana visualization" .
Thus, I have estimated for simple startup ELK implementation for 1 day and extra one day for some calibration.
My deliverable I am assuming will be,
Logstash config files
Kibana dashboard json
Elasticsearch config file
To work , I will need the actual data source for my test lab. Also, I live in Japan and I would appreciate if you could put time difference into account.
Best Regards,
Yu Watanabe
