Showcase

The showcase demonstrates importing twitter data from the stream api using the logstash twitter plugin. These tweets can then be analyzed using kibana 4.

A mapping for the tweets structure is also available and has to be applied before indexing data. This mapping is not to be seen as complete as only selected fields are mapped to be searchable correctly. For full use of the whole tweet structure, more fields have to be mapped correctly (e.g. not_analyzed for user.url).

Dependencies

• elasticsearch >= 1.4

• kibana 4 beta 3
