What is Kibana?
Kibana is an open source analytics and visualization platform designed to work with Elasticsearch
Easily visualize data pushed into Elasticsearch from Logstash, ES-Hadoop, Beats, or third- party technologies like Apache Flume, Fluentd, and many others.
Kibana is used to search, view, and interact with data stored in Elasticsearch indices.
Enables to create and share dynamic dashboards that display changes to Elasticsearch queries in real time.
What is Logstash?
Logstash is an open source tool for collecting, parsing, and storing logs for future use.
Kibana is a web interface that can be used to search and view the logs that Logstash has indexed.
Both Kibana & Logstash are based on Elasticsearch.
