đź§  Monitor Your Full LAMP Stack with ELK + Metricbeat (No Guesswork, Just Data)

If you’re running a traditional LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), chances are you’ve dealt with “Is the server slow?” moments.

But guessing is not monitoring.

In this post, I break down how to get full-stack observability using the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch + Kibana) combined with Metricbeat — all open-source, and built for clarity.

What You'll Learn:
âś… How to monitor Apache, MySQL, and system-level metrics in real time
âś… How to deploy Metricbeat agents on app and DB servers
âś… How to visualize everything in beautiful Kibana dashboards
âś… How to simulate load and validate that your stack can handle real-world traffic

No expensive tools. No bloated monitoring suites. Just a clean, powerful setup you can build in a couple of hours.

Let me know what tools you use to monitor your LAMP stack — or if you're moving to containers, I'd love to hear how you manage observability!
