== Add your data
|

++++
|

<titleabbrev>Add data</titleabbrev>
|
|
++++
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
*Elastic Agent* is 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, and manage {elastic-agent} installations in standalone or {fleet} mode. The integrations
|
|
ship with dashboards and visualizations,
|
|
so you can quickly get insights into your data, and {fleet} mode offers several advantages:
|
|
|
|
* A central place to configure and monitor your {agents}.
|
|
|
|
* An overview of the data ingest in your {es} cluster.
|
|
|
|
* Multiple integrations to collect and transform data.

[[upload-data-kibana]]
|
|
=== Upload a file
|
|
|
|
If you have a log file or delimited CSV, TSV, or JSON file, you can upload it,
|
|
view its fields and metrics, and optionally import it into {es}.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This feature is not intended for use as part of a repeated production
|
|
process, but rather for the initial exploration of your data.
|
|
|
|
You can upload a file up to 100 MB. This value is configurable up to 1 GB in
|
|
<<fileupload-maxfilesize,Advanced Settings>>. To upload a file with geospatial
|
|
data, refer to <<import-geospatial-data,Import geospatial data>>.
|

image::images/add-data-fv.png[Uploading a file in {kib}]
|
|
|
|
The {stack-security-features} provide roles and privileges that control which
|
|
users can upload files. To upload a file in {kib} and import it into an {es}
|
|
index, you'll need:
|
|
|
|
* `all` {kib} privileges for *Discover*
|
|
* `manage_pipeline` or `manage_ingest_pipelines` cluster privilege
|
|
* `create`, `create_index`, `manage`, and `read` index privileges for the index
|
|
|
|
You can manage your roles, privileges, and spaces in **{stack-manage-app}** in
|
|
{kib}. For more information, refer to
|
|
<<xpack-kibana-role-management,{kib} role management>>.
|
|

|
|
=== 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.
