Searching and Filtering Data in Kibana 7.6

There is a lot of value in visualizing data in Kibana but that value quickly reaches a limit unless you can also drill down to access the less obvious characteristics of your data. There are a number of ways to filter your data in Kibana from using the time picker with time-series data, crafting Kibana Query Language (KQL) queries, or just using the filtering mechanisms built in to the user interface. In this hands-on lab, we will explore the various ways to filter data in Kibana so that you can quickly discover the insights buried in your data.
