Need to setup ELK on docker swarm cluster

Docker Engine

Hello Experts,

Need your help to setup ELK in docker swarm cluster environment. Please share steps.
4 node swarm cluster is ready (2 Manager & 2 worker)

1, Google for docker elk, check the first hits if their description contains a section for docker-compose or eben better swarm.

2, Follow the instructions of the description

3, Edit the docker-compose.yml according your needs

4, Start your stack

Docker does not use master-slave replication, it uses a consensus. Like most consensus algorithms it needs (n/2)+1 nodes to be alive to work. If either on of your two managers is down you worker nodes won’t be controlled by swarm anymore. I would suggest to make it either 1 manager and 3 worker nodes OR 3 manager nodes and one worker node.
