Description
 Introduction of Kibana Fundamentals :
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to Kibana, the powerful data visualization and exploration tool for Elasticsearch. Participants will learn how to harness Kibana’s capabilities to visualize and analyze data stored in Elasticsearch indices. The course covers the basics of navigating the Kibana interface, creating dashboards, and building interactive visualizations to explore data trends and patterns. By the end of the course, attendees will be able to use Kibana to gain insights from structured and unstructured data.
Prerequisites of Kibana Fundamentals:
- Basic understanding of data concepts: Familiarity with data structures and querying.
- Knowledge of Elasticsearch: Basic knowledge of Elasticsearch is helpful but not mandatory.
- No prior Kibana experience required: This course is designed for beginners, and no previous experience with Kibana is required.
