These activities are _more important_ than certifications or even degrees to Hiring Managers. People at three large companies each told me that. So get crackin

On the "Install Elastic Agent" step I keep getting a stall and it states "Confirm agent enrollment" "Listening for agent" and there's an infinite scrolling wheel. I asked Chatgpt and it states my settings are probably misconfigured. If anyone has any suggestions or know the fix I will greatly appreciate it.

    • @SimplyCyber
      @SimplyCyber  Před 3 měsíci

      Thx for asking. I didn’t get the email and couldn’t troubleshoot it for the video. I thought I left a comment in there saying the email didn’t arrive but I guess it didn’t make the final vid. I would set it up w web hooks if I’m being practical since it’s more flexible and you would see it in practice (fire off a slack msg for example)

    Nah! Sorry “Doc” lol, anyone in 2024 thinking it’s a good idea sticking with ES is an idiot or is selling licenses. They screwed the pooch dude going that route. Folks, you can do this and more with 100% FOSS. Plenty of OSS SIEMs and log management the whole stack, etc. The list is huge. Why would you use ES for this in a lab? Beats me.

    • @SimplyCyber
      @SimplyCyber  Před 4 měsíci +5

      The ease of setup lowers the barrier to entry for learning. Maybe not a great solution for enterprise or long term (i'm not sure what evaluation you are basing your assessment on), but for a student lab and learning quickly, i think its a good fit.

      Enterprise is far more complex with understanding data classification and policies to allow the use to send this type of data to the provider (in this case ES). Sure for a homelab and getting an idea of how a SIEM is suppose to work is an accurate point, but using this "as a point on your resume" is a bit of a stretch.
