To start working with your data in {kib}, use one of the many ingest options,
|
|
available from the home page.
|
|
You can collect data from an app or service
|
|
or upload a file that contains your data. If you're not ready to use your own data,
|
|
add a sample data set and give {kib} a test drive.

=== Add data
|
|
|
|
Want to ingest logs, metrics, security, or application data?
|
|
Install and configure a Beats data shipper or other module to periodically collect the data
|
|
and send it to {es}. You can then use the pre-built dashboards to explore and analyze the data.

|
=== Add Elastic Agent
|
|
|
|
beta[] *Elastic Agent* is a sneak peek at the next generation of
|
|
data integration modules, offering
|
|
a centralized way to set up your integrations.
|
|
With *Fleet*, you can add
|
|
and manage integrations for popular services and platforms, providing
|
|
an easy way to collect your data. The integrations
|
|
ship with dashboards and visualizations,
|
|
so you can quickly get insights into your data.
|
|
|
|
To get started, refer to
|
|
{fleet-guide}/fleet-quick-start.html[Quick start: Get logs and metrics into the Elastic Stack].

|
|
=== Upload a file
|
|
|
|
experimental[] If your data is in a CSV, JSON, or log file, you can upload it using the File
|
|
Data Visualizer. You can upload a file up to 100 MB. This value is configurable up to 1 GB in
|
|
<<kibana-ml-settings, Advanced Settings>>. To upload a file with geospatial data,
|
|
refer to <<import-geospatial-data, Import geospatial data>>.

|
NOTE: This feature is not intended for use as part of a
|
|
repeated production process, but rather for the initial exploration of your data.

|
=== Additional options for loading your data
|
|
|
|
If the {kib} ingest options don't work for you, you can index your
|
|
data into Elasticsearch with {ref}/getting-started-index.html[REST APIs]
|
|
or https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html[client libraries].
|
|
After you add your data, you're required to create an <<index-patterns,index pattern>> to tell
|
|
{kib} where to find the data.
