Scheer PAS uses Kibana to view, filter and search the platform log s for all services. Kibana is an open source analytics and visualization tool designed to work with Elasticsearch. With Kibana you can search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch indices. You can perform advanced data analysis and visualize your data in a variety of charts, tables, and maps. | ||
|
Kibana needs to knows which Elasticsearch indices contain the data you want to analyze. So you have to create an index pattern in Kibana first to make sure that data is available. If your Kibana is empty and does not contain an index pattern yet, Kibana asks you to create one. You need to do this only once after the first login, then all users with Kibana permission can view the logs.
To create an index pattern, open Kibana and log in. | |
