Kibana
KIBANA
is an open source analytics and visualization platform designed to work with Elasticsearch.
You use Kibana to search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch indices. You can easily perform advanced data analysis and visualize your data in a variety of charts, tables, and maps.
How to search data in Kibana?
By default, Kibana will accept either the Lucene query syntax or the Elasticsearch Query DSL in the Query bar.
Types of search:
For full text search, just type a string that you want to search for. The search will be executed against all available fields, i.e cancer. In this case you will see all documents containing this term
If you want to search for a phrase - several terms next to each other, you need to embrace them with double quotes, i.e “heart attack”
If you want to search in a particular field, you could write it as following – httpCode:200
If you want to search for a range of values, you could write them in a format of field:[START TO END]
For more complex queries you could use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), i.e httpCode:200 AND “heart attack”
If Kibana shows no results – check time picker, and make sure, that it set up correctly. There are several modes available:
Quick
Relative
Absolute
Dashboard
A Kibana dashboard displays a collection of visualizations and searches. You can arrange, resize, and edit the dashboard content and then save the dashboard so you can share it.
