This overhaul of the docs structure puts Kibana's documentation more inline with the structure that is used in Elasticsearch. This will help us better organize the docs going forward as more docs are added. This also includes a few necessary content changes for 5.0.

== Accessing Kibana
|
|
|
|
Kibana is a web application that you access through port 5601. All you need to do is point your web browser at the
|
|
machine where Kibana is running and specify the port number. For example, `localhost:5601` or
|
|
`http://YOURDOMAIN.com:5601`.
|
|
|
|
When you access Kibana, the <<discover,Discover>> page loads by default with the default index pattern selected. The
|
|
time filter is set to the last 15 minutes and the search query is set to match-all (\*).
|
|
|
|
If you don't see any documents, try setting the time filter to a wider time range.
|
|
If you still don't see any results, it's possible that you don't *have* any documents.

=== Checking Kibana Status
|
|
|
|
You can reach the Kibana server's status page by navigating to `localhost:5601/status`. The status page displays
|
|
information about the server's resource usage and lists the installed plugins.
