The Elasticsearch Query Language, {esql}, has been created to make exploring your data faster and easier using the **Discover** application. From version 8.11 you can try this new feature, which is enabled by default.

|
This new piped language allows you to chain together multiple commands to query your data. Based on the query, Lens suggestions in Discover create a visualization of the query results.
|
|
|
|
{esql} comes with its own dedicated {esql} Compute Engine for greater efficiency. From one query you can search, aggregate, calculate and perform data transformations without leaving **Discover**. Write your query directly in **Discover** or use the **Dev Tools** with the {ref}/esql-rest.html[{esql} API].
|
|
|
|
{esql} also features in-app help, so you can get started faster and don't have to leave the application to check syntax.

{esql} makes it much easier to analyze metrics, logs and traces from a single query. Find performance issues fast by defining fields on the fly, enriching data with lookups, and using simultaneous query processing. Combining {esql} with {ml} and AiOps can improve detection accuracy and use aggregated value thresholds.

==== Security
|
|
|
|
Use {esql} to retrieve important information for investigation by using lookups. Enrich data and create new fields on the go to gain valuable insight for faster decision-making and actions. For example, perform a lookup on an IP address to identify its geographical location, its association with known malicious entities, or whether it belongs to a known cloud service provider all from one search bar. {esql} ensures more accurate alerts by incorporating aggregated values in detection rules.
