Kibana is a browser based interface for logstash and ElasticSearch that allows you to efficiently search, visualize, analyze and otherwise make sense of a mountain of logs.
Kibana is complemented by a range of free and open-source tools that can help you aggregate and deliver metrics, analytics and vital performance data.
These tools include ElasticSearch, Graphite, logstash, RabbitMQ, syslog-ng, statsd, and Graphital.
Key Features
- Uses the same flexible Lucene search syntax as Elasticsearch.
- Load balance against your Elasticsearch cluster.
- Visually analyze trends in log volume to find peaks and valleys.
- Score, trend and average fields to find patterns. Find the most common values and see how they’ve changed over time.
- Create dashboards from searches to view events in real time, as they happen
- RSS feeds.
- Searches only the indices matched by your timeframe to try to give you results as fast as possible.
