Getting Started
If you just want to try Kibana out, check out the Elastic Stack Getting Started Page to give it a whirl.
If you're interested in diving a bit deeper and getting a taste of Kibana's capabilities, head over to the Kibana Getting Started Page.
Using a Kibana Release
If you want to use a Kibana release in production, give it a test run, or just play around:
- Download the latest version on the Kibana Download Page.
- Learn more about Kibana's features and capabilities on the Kibana Product Page.
- We also offer a hosted version of Kibana on our Cloud Service.
Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code
You might want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try out an open PR:
- CONTRIBUTING.md will help you get Kibana up and running.
- If you would like to contribute code, please follow our STYLEGUIDE.mdx.
- For all other questions, check out the FAQ.md and wiki.
Documentation
Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.
For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.
Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.
Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.
| Situation | Example Kibana version | Example ES version | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versions are the same. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.2 | 💚 OK |
| ES patch number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.5 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 5.5.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES major number is newer. | 5.1.2 | 6.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES patch number is older. | 5.1.2 | 5.1.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is older. | 5.1.2 | 5.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES major number is older. | 5.1.2 | 4.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
