Overview of this book

Elasticsearch is a Lucene-based distributed search engine at the heart of the Elastic Stack that allows you to index and search unstructured content with petabytes of data. With this updated fifth edition, you'll cover comprehensive recipes relating to what's new in Elasticsearch 8.x and see how to create and run complex queries and analytics. The recipes will guide you through performing index mapping, aggregation, working with queries, and scripting using Elasticsearch. You'll focus on numerous solutions and quick techniques for performing both common and uncommon tasks such as deploying Elasticsearch nodes, using the ingest module, working with X-Pack, and creating different visualizations. As you advance, you'll learn how to manage various clusters, restore data, and install Kibana to monitor a cluster and extend it using a variety of plugins. Furthermore, you'll understand how to integrate your Java, Scala, Python, and big data applications such as Apache Spark and Pig with Elasticsearch and create efficient data applications powered by enhanced functionalities and custom plugins. By the end of this Elasticsearch cookbook, you'll have gained in-depth knowledge of implementing the Elasticsearch architecture and be able to manage, search, and store data efficiently and effectively using Elasticsearch.

Visualizing data with Kibana

Kibana allows you to create reusable data representations called visualizations. These are representations of aggregations and can be used to power up the dashboard using custom graphs. In general, you can consider visualization as a building block for your dashboard.

Getting ready

You will need an up-and-running Elasticsearch installation, similar to the one that we described in the Downloading and installing Elasticsearch recipe in Chapter 1, Getting Started. Additionally, a working Kibana instance is required, as described in the Installing Kibana recipe of this chapter.

If you have used Docker Compose, which is available in the ch01 directory, then everything should be correctly installed.

How to do it...

To use Kibana to create custom widgets, we will perform the following steps:

  1. Access the Analytics | Visualize Library section of Kibana, as shown in the following screenshot:
