Visualizing data

Kibana is an easy-to-use visualization tool that provides us with a rich feature set to create beautiful charts (such as pie charts, bar charts, and stack charts), histograms, geo maps, word tags, data tables, and so on. Visualizing data is always beneficial for any organization as it helps top management to make decisions with ease. We can also easily track any unusual trends and find any outliers in data without digging into the data. We can create dashboards for any existing web-based application as well by simply pushing the application data into Elasticsearch and then use Kibana to create beautiful dashboards. This way, we can plug in an additional dimension into the application and start monitoring it without putting any additional load on the application.
