Chapter 4. Visualizing Big Data Using Kibana

As your data grows, you may want to pull out interesting insights from the data. That's why you are reading this book, isn't it? Visualizations help you see the data graphically by presenting it with different shapes, sizes, and colors. This helps you to find different patterns in your data that can be extremely difficult to find manually. You will learn about Kibana (the visualization tool for Elasticsearch). This allows you to explore your data, visualize it, slice and dice it, and create reusable dashboards that you can share with your colleagues or save for future analysis.

The following topics will be covered in the chapter:

  • Setting up the environment

  • Discovering data

  • Visualizing data

  • Creating dynamic dashboards
