Answer

A customer asked: > Is an Elasticsearch stack created with the Ref Arch? Are the following logs ingested? > VPC Flow logs, ALB logs, S3 access logs, Guard duty logs, and Config logs?

We have [an Elasticsearch module](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-service-catalog/tree/master/modules/data-stores/elasticsearch) in [our Service Catalog.](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terraform-aws-service-catalog), but it is not currently hooked up to Ref Arch 2.0. It could be added in the future. We do NOT currently configure Elasticsearch as part of a Ref Arch deploy, nor do we configure it to ingest logs from those sources; the user would need to do that themselves.
