Viewing Elasticsearch data with Kibana

Kibana is the web application that sits on top of Elasticsearch. Kibana takes all of those HTTP API queries and puts them into a platform with a great User Experience (UX) so that interacting with the Elasticsearch data is possible to a layperson.

We'll spend a lot of time learning how to navigate Kibana and perform threat hunting in the next few chapters, but for now, we'll just do a basic introduction and point you to the different apps.

Using Kibana to view Elasticsearch data

Using Kibana, we can view all of the data within Elasticsearch. Additionally, we can use Kibana to control parts of the entire Elastic Stack through an intuitive UI.
