What is Kibana?.
Kibana is an open source data visualization plugin for Elasticsearch. It provides visualization capabilities on top of the content indexed on an Elasticsearch cluster and gives you the freedom to select the way you give shape to your data. Kibana developer tools offer powerful ways to help developers interact with the Elastic Stack. It ships with its own Node.js web server, and there’s no extra code or additional infrastructure required.
