This is the elasticsearch module.
When you run the module, it performs a few tasks under the hood:
Sets the default paths to the log files (but don't worry, you can override the defaults)
Makes sure each multiline log event gets sent as a single event
Uses ingest node to parse and process the log lines, shaping the data into a structure suitable for visualizing in Kibana
Deploys dashboards for visualizing the log data (not true as of 6.4.0)
