Kibana is the open source interface used to query, analyze, visualize, and manage data stored in Elasticsearch. It lets users search and explore data in real time, build interactive dashboards and visualizations, run no-code machine learning for anomaly detection, map geospatial data, and set alerts that trigger automated responses. It underlies Elastic's search, observability, and security solutions and can be deployed via Elastic Cloud Serverless, Elastic Cloud Hosted, or self-managed installations.
