Defining Index Patterns in Kibana 7.6
Before you can analyze the data in your Elasticsearch indices, we first need to tell Kibana what data to look at, how to categorize it, and even how to format the data in order for it to be as readable as possible. In this hands-on lab, you will get to define index patterns for various indices, and customize field formatting for readability.
