Description
It is now a well-known fact in the HEPiX community that the Elastic stack (FKA ELK) is
an extremely useful tool to dive into huge log data entries. It has also been presented multiple times
as lacking the security features so often needed in multi-user environments. Although it now provides
a plugin addressing some of those concerns, it requires the acquisition of a commercial license.
We present floragunn's Searchguard: an Elasticsearch plugin that provides authentication, authorization
and encryption. It also bundles a Kibana plugin that offers multi-tenant views and dashboards.
We then focus on its integration with Kerberos, CAS (SSO) and syslog-ng at CC-IN2P3.
If time permits we'll present gotchas and performance considerations.
