== Configuring Kibana
|
|
|
|
To use Kibana, you have to tell it about the Elasticsearch indexes that you
|
|
want to explore by configuring one or more index patterns. You can also:
|
|
|
|
* Create scripted fields that are computed on the fly from your data. You can
|
|
browse and visualize scripted fields, but you cannot search them.
|
|
* Control access to Kibana using Elasticsearch Shield.
|
|
* Set advanced options such as the number of rows to show in a table and
|
|
how many of the most popular fields to show. (Use caution when modifying advanced options,
|
|
as it's possible to set values that are incompatible with one another.)

=== Create an Index Pattern to Connect to Elasticsearch
|
|
An _index pattern_ identifies one or more Elasticsearch indexes that you want to
|
|
explore with Kibana. Kibana looks for index names that match the specified pattern.
|
|
For example, the pattern `logstash-*` matches all indexes whose names start with
|
|
`logstash-`. An asterisk (*) in the pattern matches zero or more characters.
|
|
Patterns can also contain xxx.
