LizardFS is used for storing and aggregating data from many applications before it gets to ELK. Thanks to that configuration (Elasticsearch and LizardFS) we get storage with searching capabilities that are compliant with GDPR.
Data aggregation due to security precautions is done from flat files. These files are later processed by parsers in Logstash. The whole process is done this way so data can return to the canonical state of a log.LizardFS and Elasticsearch are open source products, you can install them on existing infrastructure. They enable you to create a platform for content management and storage in a cost-effective way. High availability and extreme scalability are just a few added-value features provided by LizardFS.
