Technical requirements

The code examples for this chapter can be found in the GitHub repository for this book: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Getting-Started-with-Elastic-Stack-8.0/tree/main/Chapter3.

Start an instance of Elasticsearch and Kibana on your local machine to follow along with the examples in this chapter. Alternatively, you can use your preferred mode of running the components from Chapter 2, Installing and Running the Elastic Stack.

Dev Tools takes care of authentication, content headers, hostnames, and more so that you can focus on crafting and running your API calls. The Dev Tools app can be found under the Management section in the Kibana navigation sidebar. The same REST API calls can be performed directly against your Elasticsearch cluster using a tool such as curl or Postman if you prefer:
