## What it is
Kibana is the open source web interface for querying, analyzing, visualizing, and managing data stored in Elasticsearch. It provides interactive dashboards, real-time search and exploration, machine learning anomaly detection, geospatial analysis, and alerting across the Elastic Stack.

## Use cases
- build interactive dashboards for elasticsearch data
- explore and query logs in real time
- monitor application and infrastructure metrics
- set up alerts on data anomalies
- visualize geospatial data on maps
- run a SIEM for threat detection and investigation
- analyze log data from the ELK stack

## When to choose
- your data lives in Elasticsearch and you need a UI to explore and visualize it
- you need unified observability dashboards for logs, metrics, and traces
- you want built-in alerting, anomaly detection, and security analytics on Elastic data

## When to avoid
- your data is not in Elasticsearch (Kibana requires matching Elasticsearch versions)
- you need a lightweight standalone charting library rather than a full analytics platform
- you need a fully open-source license without Elastic's license restrictions

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, analytics, search-engine, monitoring, alerting
- domain: data-visualization, analytics, monitoring, security
- platform: self-hosted, cloud, cross-platform
- tags: elasticsearch, elk-stack, dashboards, observability, siem, log-analytics, esql, kql, dashboarding, search, web-server, docker
