[Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/kibana) is a pluggable platform that allows users to search, visualize and analyze data in Elasticsearch.

Kibana ships with many out-of-the-box capabilities that can be extended and enhanced by custom javascript plugins. Developers can also write their own custom applications.
