Enhanced Aviation Operations by Leveraging Elasticsearch



Client
The client is a prominent aviation services provider delivering maintenance, engineering, and modification support to both commercial and military aircraft operators. Their technical infrastructure supports high reliability and operational efficiency.
Project Context
The client wanted to improve search and observability for aviation operations, and sought to utilize Elasticsearch for real-time monitoring, proactive alerting, and service optimization.
Challenges
- Complex service structure requiring clear visualization
- Lack of unified search for maintenance logs and workflows
- Minimal prior exposure to Elastic features like Canvas, Fleet, and ML
Solution
- Conducted training on indices, streams, and visualizations
- Delivered sessions on alerts, watchers, and anomaly detection
- Integrated Private Link and Elastic Enterprise Search features
Project Objectives
- Establish search foundation (indices vs. streams)
- Enable proactive monitoring and alerting
- Integrate Azure and Elastic features for unified visibility
Solution Delivery
SquareShift led detailed workshops introducing the client to Elastic’s ecosystem. Sessions included ML, Canvas, Fleet, and Logstash, and demonstrated use cases like proactive maintenance alerts and secure REST APIs.
