ESKM is a centralized key management solution that securely stores, distributes, and manages
encryption keys throughout their lifecycle. It supports industry standards, including the KMIP,
enabling integration with a wide range of enterprise applications and storage systems.
In the Elasticsearch integration, ESKM operates as a centralized source of audit and system events. These logs are forwarded from ESKM to a syslog server and then ingested into Elasticsearch, enabling administrators to monitor key management activities, track system behavior, and analyze security-relevant events through the Kibana dashboard and alerts.
