So far, we've covered how to push data into Elasticsearch from different sources, such as Beats and Logstash. Once the data is pushed into your Elasticsearch cluster, you can get that into Kibana by creating the index pattern. So the ultimate aim of Elastic Stack is to get data, analyze it, visualize it, and extract meaningful information – for that, we can fetch data from different sources, push them to a central Elasticsearch cluster, make them available to Kibana using index patterns, and analyze them.
Let's check how the index pattern can be created in Kibana to access Elasticsearch index data. Click on the Management link from the left menu to open the Management page. This will show you Elasticsearch and the Kibana block; under the Kibana block, click on the Index Pattern link to open the index pattern page. The following...
