# ELK Stack

## Overview

This section guides you through configuring and running the integration between the **ELK Stack** and **NCP**

#### By following these steps, you'll enable NCP to:

* Pull and index logs from Elasticsearch for real-time visibility.
* Allow users to query logs and telemetry data using NCP’s chat interface.
* Improve troubleshooting efficiency and accelerate root cause analysis.

#### Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure the following:

* **Elasticsearch Endpoint:** URL of your Elasticsearch instance (e.g., `https://elk.example.com:9200`)
* **Index Information:** The names of the indices that contain relevant network logs (e.g., `network-logs-*`, `telemetry-*`)

### Configure ELK as a Data Source in NCP

To integrate your ELK Stack with NCP:

1. Log in to the **NCP GUI**
2. Navigate to **Settings → Data Connectors**, then click **Add Connector**<br>
