This overhaul of the docs structure puts Kibana's documentation more inline with the structure that is used in Elasticsearch. This will help us better organize the docs going forward as more docs are added. This also includes a few necessary content changes for 5.0.

== Introduction
|
|
|
|
Kibana is an open source analytics and visualization platform designed to work with Elasticsearch. You use Kibana to
|
|
search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch indices. You can easily perform advanced data analysis
|
|
and visualize your data in a variety of charts, tables, and maps.
|
|
|
|
Kibana makes it easy to understand large volumes of data. Its simple, browser-based interface enables you to quickly
|
|
create and share dynamic dashboards that display changes to Elasticsearch queries in real time.
|
|
|
|
Setting up Kibana is a snap. You can install Kibana and start exploring your Elasticsearch indices in minutes -- no
|
|
code, no additional infrastructure required.
