+# Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana - ELK stack
+I have deployed an ELK stack in an attempt to create dashboard reporting for my services. The deployment is inside of a FreeBSD jail residing on CROWLEY.
+
+I have found that configuring the ELK stack has become a very tedious and time consuming process. Far worse than the benifits of the reporting. In addition, the memory usage of this service does not justify the service itself.
+
+I have opted to disable this service until a better solution can be found.
