Getting started with Kibana, your data's best view

  • Add your data

    Ingest logs, metrics, or documents into Elasticsearch, or use sample datasets to explore instantly.

  • Use Discover or the AI Assistant to query, filter, and analyze data. Validate fields and find insights fast.

  • Visualize and act

    Build your first dashboard, set alerts, or enable ML jobs to automate detection and response.

All from Kibana

Kibana is the window to your use case, uniting observability, security, and search in one intuitive platform. Monitor data, detect threats, and manage operations with the clarity and control to turn data into action.

  • Correlate and analyze multiple signals

    Monitor logs, metrics, traces, and more in real time with one UI. Correlate spikes, errors, and resource usage across services with dashboards, ML, and alerts. Use time-synced views and live tailing to accelerate root cause analysis.

  • Detect and respond to threats

    Detect threats and investigate security events with prebuilt and custom rules, anomaly detection, and timeline views. Correlate logs, alerts, and threat intel, track investigations with cases, and link detections to MITRE ATT&CK.

  • Connect and tune custom search experiences across websites or internal content. Analyze query trends, monitor and optimize query performance, and support vector search uses.

  • Build, deploy, and operate in production

    Operate, manage, and optimize your Elasticsearch deployment with tools for data lifecycle, RBAC, access control, audit logging, and cluster diagnostics. Use AutoOps for automated insights and recommendations on performance, query tuning, and data storage.
