Blurb
Explore and visualize data stored in Elasticsearch with Kibana. Build dashboards, run queries, set alerts, and manage your deployment - all in one UI….
Summary
What it is: Web UI for search, visualizations, dashboards, and Elastic-specific features (APM, SIEM modules in commercial tiers).
When to use: Committed Elastic Cloud or self-hosted Elasticsearch; security analytics on Elastic data; teams standardized on KQL and Elastic dashboards.
When to skip: New stacks without Elastic lock-in. Prefer Grafana plus Prometheus, Loki, or vendor-neutral stores.
Key features: Lens visualizations, saved objects, role-based spaces, alerting tied to Elastic indices.
