kibana README

The project's README from github.com/elastic/kibana. As one markdown file: README.md.

Kibana

Kibana is the open source interface to query, analyze, visualize, and manage your data stored in Elasticsearch.

Getting Started

If you just want to try Kibana out, check out the Elastic Stack Getting Started Page to give it a whirl.

If you're interested in diving a bit deeper and getting a taste of Kibana's capabilities, head over to the Kibana Getting Started Page.

Using a Kibana Release

If you want to use a Kibana release in production, give it a test run, or just play around:

Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code

You might want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try out an open PR:

Documentation

Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.

For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.

Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch

Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.

Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.

Situation Example Kibana version Example ES version Outcome
Versions are the same. 7.15.1 7.15.1 💚 OK
ES patch number is newer. 7.15.0 7.15.1 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES minor number is newer. 7.14.2 7.15.0 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES major number is newer. 7.15.1 8.0.0 🚫 Fatal error
ES patch number is older. 7.15.1 7.15.0 ⚠️ Logged warning
ES minor number is older. 7.15.1 7.14.2 🚫 Fatal error
ES major number is older. 8.0.0 7.15.1 🚫 Fatal error

这是什么东西?Kibana 是一个开源界面,用来查询、分析、可视化和管理存放在 Elasticsearch 里的数据——实际上就是 Elastic Stack 部署的网页入口。
它是桌面应用吗?我到底怎么打开它?都不是——Kibana 是一个和 Elasticsearch 一起运行的服务器,你在浏览器里通过网页界面来使用它。
我该怎么把它跑起来?从 Kibana 下载页面下载最新版本,然后连接到你的 Elasticsearch 运行。如果只是想先试试,可以从 Elastic Stack 入门页面开始,或者直接用托管的 Elastic Cloud 版本。
用之前必须装 Elasticsearch 吗?是的——Kibana 自己没有数据存储,它查询、可视化和管理的都是存在 Elasticsearch 里的数据,所以你需要一个正在运行的 Elasticsearch 实例。
我的 Elasticsearch 版本必须完全一致吗?理想情况下是的:只要主版本不一致(不管是哪边高),Kibana 就会无法运行;而 Elasticsearch 只是次版本号或补丁号更新一些的话,只会记录一条警告。
服务器必须自己架设和维护吗?不用——除了下载后自己运行的版本,Elastic 还在其 Cloud Service 上提供托管的 Kibana。
数据接进来之后,我到底能拿它做什么?Kibana 覆盖了从探索到监控的完整流程:对 Elasticsearch 进行临时查询、制作仪表盘和可视化图表,还有指标和可观测性视图,方便你随时关注系统的运行状况。
这个项目成熟吗?非常成熟:开发始于 2013 年,GitHub 上的仓库已有超过 21,000 个 star,Elastic.co 上有完整的文档,还有 Kibana Discuss 论坛可以寻求社区帮助。
