[root@linuxhelp ~]# netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN

Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

What is use of kibana ?

A

Kibana is an open-source data visualization and exploration tool used for log and time-series analytics, application monitoring, and operational intelligence use cases. It offers powerful and easy-to-use features such as histograms, line graphs, pie charts, heat maps, and built-in geospatial support.

Q

Is the dashboard schema compatible for Kibana?

A

Unfortunately, it is not compatible. In order to create the new features we wanted, it simply was not possible to keep the same schema. Aggregations work fundamentally different from facets, the new dashboard isn’t tied to rows and columns, and the relationships between searches, visualizations and the dashboard are complex enough that we simply had to design something more flexible.

Q

What happened to templated/scripted dashboards on kibana?

A

Check out the URL. The state of each app is stored there, including any filters, queries, or columns. This should be a lot easier than constructing scripted dashboards. The encoding of the URL is RISON.

Q

Does Kibana need Elasticsearch?

A

Kibana is designed to use Elasticsearch as a data source. Think of Elasticsearch as the engine that stores and processes the data, with Kibana sitting on top. From the home page, Kibana provides these options for getting data

Q

Is kibana is paid or opensource ?

A

Kibana is an open source data visualization dashboard for Elasticsearch. It provides visualization capabilities on top of the content indexed on an Elasticsearch cluster.
