Tweets about Elasticsearch, Kibana, search, observability, security — optimized for relevance

build an intelligent query layer with MCP in #elasticsearch — from search to agent
here's a preview how ES|QL queries turn into tools that get aggregated into agents — all served and built right in kibana. and you can try this out today

"the elastic problem" 😬

PS: yes, elasticsearch is (also) AGPL licensed now

[Ivan Burazin @ivanburazin]

We went for an AGPL license because we didn't want the elastic problem.

While JP Morgan can run @daytonaio internally for free, Amazon can't spin it up and run a competing service without open-sourcing everything they build on top.

The ideal long-term goal is to separate the truly permissive core (MIT or Apache) from the enterprise-scale features. Individual developer value in one repo, and compliance + audit logs + reporting in another.

You can be genuinely open source in the parts that matter to the community and protect the parts that only matter at scale.

We didn't have time to do that cleanly on v2, so AGPL was the fastest defensible choice.

@venkateshdotdev check out the free trainings on https://t.co/DBiV1orrxe. those are often a great starting point

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

more typosquatting of npm packages and then stealing secrets. including elasticsearch tooling. stay frosty out there 🥶

@zbuckholz @ProtonMail good old tribe node. legend has it that this feature was written on one transatlantic flight (and some people would then say "it showed" 😅)
but cross cluster search should be a lot more robust nowadays

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@quienesmhulhar that's one way of solving it (and not worst :D)
but if you run multiple processes — especially memory hungry ones — you might still want to look at the JVM heap configuration

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@quienesmhulhar but are the processes all running on the same instance? you'll need adjust the memory settings for elasticsearch (and probably logstash) in that case

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@adnadar @elastic @cursor_ai nice that this worked out so well. we have https://t.co/hdWPJBgmqg in case it doesn't 😅

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@mitsuhiko was that ever really popular in austria? also so many more authentic alternatives...

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@aperez900907 @elastic all the agent builder and LLM connection features are enterprise licensed (and of course on elastic cloud)

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@srchvrs @elastic I think primarily hierarchical k-means (instead of k-means) and SOAR. https://t.co/xmZGNZ46KJ has a deeper dive into the ideas behind it
plus better (binary or more) quantization: https://t.co/lhLc1TXzer

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@unjoeyy @Pranj_Sometimes why is that?

[Justin D'Souza @jqdsouza]

Super excited to be live demoing @asymptotelabs' Agent Beacon at @elastic's Developer Meetup on May 28 in San Francisco.

I’ll walk through how Agent Beacon turns AI agent runtime activity into Elastic-native security investigations, helping teams connect suspicious behavior back to the agent workflow behind it.

I’ll be presenting alongside lead engineers from @recurly and @Intuit for a night of real production stories across search, reliability, observability, and AI runtime security.

If you're around, please swing by! Luma link below in the comments 👇

@jqdsouza thanks for joining us!

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

even in private repos: never commit your secrets, keys, certificates,…
and hugops to everyone involved 😬

[GitHub @github]

We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@planedrop I can't speak for the elastiflow docs but for a simple elasticsearch setup I'd look at https://t.co/TeIE4IuPhS — it's one curl command to get everything up and running on docker (or podman)

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@jqdsouza @elastic sweet! we should invite you to one of our meetups to share more about this :)

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@steve_lags nice! is that public and do you have a more detailed description around it?

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@Jan_Reilink @internetarchive but why? 😬
that is such an ancient version from features to performance and security

[Philipp Krenn @xeraa]

@planedrop is there a specific elasticsearch problem in all of this?
