Kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch. Kibana is a snap to setup and start using. Kibana strives to be easy to get started with, while also being flexible and powerful, just like Elasticsearch.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re up and running! Fantastic! Kibana is now running on port 5601, so point your browser at http:\/\/YOURDOMAIN.com:5601.<\/p>\n
The first screen you arrive at will ask you to configure an index pattern<\/strong>. An index pattern describes to Kibana how to access your data. We make the guess that you\u2019re working with log data, and we hope (because it\u2019s awesome) that you\u2019re working with Logstash. By default, we fill in Tip:<\/strong> there\u2019s an optimization in the way of the Use event times to create index names<\/em> option. Since Logstash creates an index every day, Kibana uses that fact to only search indices that could possibly contain data in your selected time range.<\/p>\n Congratulations, you have an index pattern! You should now be looking at a paginated list of the fields in your index or indices, as well as some informative data about them. Kibana has automatically set this new index pattern as your default index pattern. If you\u2019d like to know more about index patterns, pop into to the Settings section of the documentation.<\/p>\n Did you know:<\/strong> Both indices<\/em> and indexes<\/em> are acceptable plural forms of the word index<\/em>. Knowledge is power.<\/p>\n Now that you\u2019ve configured an index pattern, you\u2019re ready to hop over to the Discover screen and try out a few searches. Click on Discover<\/strong> in the navigation bar at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.<\/p>\n For the daring, snapshot builds are available. These builds are created after each commit to the master branch, and therefore are not something you should run in production.<\/p>\n Kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.
