== Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Graph is automatically enabled in {es} and {kib}.

[[exploring-connections]]
|
|
To start exploring connections in your data:
|
|
|
|
. Open Kibana in your web browser and log in. If you are running Kibana
|
|
locally, go to `http://localhost:5601/`.
|
|
|
|
. Click **Graph** in the side navigation to open the graph explorer.

|
|
|
|
. Select an index pattern to specify what indices you want to explore.
|
|
For example, if you are indexing log data with Logstash, you could select the
|
|
`logstash-*` index pattern to visualize connections within the log entries.
|
|
|
|
. Select one or more multi-value fields that contain the terms you want to
|
|
graph. The vertices in the graph are selected from these terms. If you're
|
|
visualizing connections between Apache log entries, you could select the
|
|
`url.raw` field and the `geo.src` field so you can look at which pages are
|
|
being accessed from different locations.
|
|
|
|
. Enter a search query to discover relationships between terms in the selected
|
|
fields. For example, to generate a graph of the successful requests to
|
|
particular pages from different locations, you could search for the 200
|
|
response code:

|

|
|
|
|
The weight of the connection between two vertices indicates how strongly they
|
|
are related. You can click any connection to view more information about
|
|
the relationship:

|
|
|
|
Once you have your initial graph, you can use the toolbar buttons to explore
|
|
additional connections. Click the Expand button
|
|
image:graph/images/graph-expand-button.jpg[Expand Selection] to display additional vertices
|
|
that connect to your graph. Click the Link button
|
|
image:graph/images/graph-link-button.jpg[Add links to existing terms] to display additional
|
|
connections between the displayed vertices. To explore a particular area of the
|
|
graph, select the vertices you are interested in and click the Expand or Link button.
|
|
To step back through your changes to the graph, click the Undo button
|
|
image:graph/images/graph-undo-button.jpg[Undo].
|
|
|
|
To see more relationships within your data, you can submit additional queries.

|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: By default, when you submit a search query Graph searches all available
|
|
fields. You can constrain your search to a particular field using the Lucene
|
|
query syntax. For example, `machine.os: osx`.
