What you'll learn

Analysts working with Elasticsearch often rely on UI tools or pre-built dashboards, missing the power of writing queries directly. In this course, Query Elasticsearch Data with ES|QL, you'll gain the ability to write expressive, reusable queries that retrieve, shape, and transform data for analysis. First, you'll explore how to run ES|QL in Kibana, select and filter fields, and scope results by time. Next, you'll discover how to sort and validate results, handle missing values, and navigate type behavior. Finally, you'll learn how to compute new fields, categorize data, group results, and combine data across indices. When you're finished, you'll have the skills and knowledge of ES|QL needed to perform confident, repeatable analysis directly against your Elasticsearch data.
