Kibana Overview
Kibana is a data visualization and exploration application from Elastic NV that serves as the user interface for the Elasticsearch search and analytics engine, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It lets you search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch, then turn that data into charts, graphs, maps, and interactive dashboards. Analysts use it to explore large volumes of logs and metrics, build visualizations ranging from simple bar charts to geospatial maps, and assemble dashboards that update as new data arrives. Kibana also provides tools for log and infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, alerting, and managing aspects of the Elastic Stack itself, such as index lifecycle and security settings. It is commonly deployed alongside Elasticsearch and Beats or Logstash as part of a complete observability or search solution. The full offline installer holds the complete application, so it sets up on a machine with no internet connection. This page links to the official Kibana download.
