Each example folder includes a README with detailed instructions for getting up and running with the particular example. The following information pertains to the [examples](https://github.com/elastic/examples) repo as a whole. ### Contents - [Quick start](#quick-start) - [Contributing](#contributing) - [Example catalog](#example-catalog) ### Quick start You have a few options to get started with the examples: - If you want to try them all, you can [download the entire repo ](https://github.com/elastic/examples/archive/master.zip). Or, if you are familiar with Git, you can [clone the repo](https://github.com/elastic/examples.git). Then, simply follow the instructions in the individual README of the examples you're interested in to get started. - If you are only interested in a specific example or two, you can download the contents of just those examples - follow instructions in the individual READMEs OR you can use some of the [options mentioned here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7106012/download-a-single-folder-or-directory-from-a-github-repo). ### Contributing See [here](https://github.com/elastic/examples/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) ### Example catalog Below is the list of examples available in this repo: #### Common Data Formats - [Apache Logs](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/apache_logs) - [NGINX Logs](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/nginx_logs) - [NGINX JSON Logs](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/nginx_json_logs) - [NGINX JSON Plus Logs](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/nginx_json_plus_logs) - [Twitter](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/twitter) - [CEF](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/cef) #### Exploring Public Datasets Examples using the Elastic Stack for analyzing public dataset. - [DonorsChoose.org donations](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Exploring%20Public%20Datasets/donorschoose) - [NCEDC earthquakes data](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Exploring%20Public%20Datasets/earthquakes) - [NYC traffic accidents](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Exploring%20Public%20Datasets/nyc_traffic_accidents) - [US FEC campaign contributions](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Exploring%20Public%20Datasets/usfec) - [CDC health behavior survey](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Exploring%20Public%20Datasets/cdc_nutrition_exercise_patterns) - [NYC restaurant health grades](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Exploring%20Public%20Datasets/nyc_restaurants) - [NHL Match Data](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Exploring%20Public%20Datasets/nhl) #### Getting Started with Graph exploration - [Exploring attack vectors in Apache logs using Graph](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Graph/apache_logs_security_analysis) - [Powering recommendation using Graph](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Graph/movie_recommendations) #### Alerting on Elastic Stack Alerting lets you set up watches (or rules) to detect and alert on changes in your Elasticsearch data.
