Nowadays, public displays are an essential element in providing information from a variety of applications and systems. As 24/7 in-person observations are impossible, support is needed for evaluation of the usage for single unit installations as well as large-scale public display networks. A software-supported solution can automate the most common data collection steps and provide a common base for further evaluation. In this paper, we present an ongoing case study on our technical solution for supporting long-term 24/7 evaluation with the Elastic Stack in any kind of public display installation. The solution is based on a logging framework and the Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana – tool stack. We present the technical solution, the requirements for our implementation, and possible evaluation approaches.ElasticsearchLoggingEvaluation(Semi-)Public DisplayFrame- workInformation RadiatorDisplay NetworkUsing an Elastic Stack as a Base for Logging and Evaluation of Public DisplaysText/Workshop Paper10.18420/muc2023-mci-ws13-303
