🧠 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:
✅ How to monitor Apache, MySQL, and system-level metrics in real time
✅ How to deploy Metricbeat agents on app and DB servers
✅ How to visualize everything in beautiful Kibana dashboards
✅ 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!
