[[management]] = Management [partintro] -- *Management* is home to UIs for managing all things Elastic Stack— indices, clusters, licenses, UI settings, index patterns, spaces, and more. [float] [[manage-Elasticsearch]] == Manage {es} [cols="50, 50"] |=== a| <> Replicate indices on a remote cluster and copy them to a follower index on a local cluster. This is important for disaster recovery. It also keeps data local for faster queries. | <> Create a policy for defining the lifecycle of an index as it ages through the hot, warm, cold, and delete phases. Such policies help you control operation costs because you can put data in different resource tiers. a| <> View index settings, mappings, and statistics and perform operations, such as refreshing, flushing, and clearing the cache. Practicing good index management ensures that your data is stored cost effectively. | <> View the status of your license, start a trial, or install a new license. For the full list of features that are included in your license, see the https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[subscription page]. | <> Manage your remote clusters for use with cross-cluster search and cross-cluster replication. You can add and remove remote clusters, and check their connectivity. | <> Create a job that periodically aggregates data from one or more indices, and then rolls it into a new, compact index. Rollup indices are a good way to store months or years of historical data in combination with your raw data. | <> Define a policy that creates, schedules, and automatically deletes snapshots to ensure that you have backups of your cluster in case something goes wrong. | {ref}/transforms.html[*Transforms*] Use transforms to pivot existing {es} indices into summarized or entity-centric indices. | <> Identify the issues that you need to address before upgrading to the next major version of {es}, and then reindex, if needed. | <> Detect changes in your data by creating, managing, and monitoring alerts. For example, create an alert when the maximum total CPU usage on a machine goes above a certain percentage. |=== [float] [[manage-kibana]] == Manage {kib} [cols="50, 50"] |=== a| <> Customize {kib} to suit your needs. Change the format for displaying dates, turn on dark mode, set the timespan for notification messages, and much more. | <> Create and manage the index patterns that help you retrieve your data from {es}. | <> Monitor the generation of reports—PDF, PNG, and CSV—and download reports that you previously generated. A report can contain a dashboard, visualization, saved search, or Canvas workpad. | <> Copy, edit, delete, import, and export your saved objects. These include dashboards, visualizations, maps, index patterns, Canvas workpads, and more. | <> Create spaces to organize your dashboards and other saved objects into categories. A space is isolated from all other spaces, so you can tailor it to your needs without impacting others. |   |=== -- include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/advanced-options.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/managing-beats.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/index-lifecycle-policies/intro-to-lifecycle-policies.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/index-lifecycle-policies/create-policy.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/index-lifecycle-policies/manage-policy.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/index-lifecycle-policies/add-policy-to-index.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/index-lifecycle-policies/example-index-lifecycle-policy.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/managing-indices.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/managing-fields.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/managing-licenses.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/numeral.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/managing-remote-clusters.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/rollups/create_and_manage_rollups.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/managing-saved-objects.asciidoc[] include::security/index.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/snapshot-restore/index.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/spaces/index.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/upgrade-assistant/index.asciidoc[] include::{kib-repo-dir}/management/watcher-ui/index.asciidoc[]
