Compatible Kibana version(s)
8.10.1 or higher
Supported Serverless project types

Security
Observability
Subscription level
Basic

The Kibana integration collects events from your Kibana instance.

Configuration parameters

If the Kibana instance is using a basepath in its URL, you must set the basepath setting for this integration with the same value.

Compatibility

The kibana package works with Kibana 8.10.0 and later.

Usage for Stack Monitoring

The kibana package can be used to collect metrics shown in our Stack Monitoring UI in Kibana.

Note: Using this integration package will require elasticsearch to be monitored as well in order to see the data in Stack Monitoring UI. If the elasticsearch data is not collected and only Kibana is monitored the Stack monitoring UI won't show the Kibana data.

Exported fields

FieldDescriptionType
@timestamp
Event timestamp.
date
client.ip
IP address of the client (IPv4 or IPv6).
ip
data_stream.dataset
Data stream dataset.
constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace
Data stream namespace.
constant_keyword
data_stream.type
Data stream type.
constant_keyword
ecs.version
ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.
keyword
event.action
The action captured by the event. This describes the information in the event. It is more specific than event.category. Examples are group-add, process-started, file-created. The value is normally defined by the implementer.
keyword
event.category
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the second level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.category represents the "big buckets" of ECS categories. For example, filtering on event.category:process yields all events relating to process activity. This field is closely related to event.type, which is used as a subcategory. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple categories.
keyword
event.created
event.created contains the date/time when the event was first read by an agent, or by your pipeline. This field is distinct from @timestamp in that @timestamp typically contain the time extracted from the original event. In most situations, these two timestamps will be slightly different. The difference can be used to calculate the delay between your source generating an event, and the time when your agent first processed it. This can be used to monitor your agent's or pipeline's ability to keep up with your event source. In case the two timestamps are identical, @timestamp should be used.
date
event.dataset
Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It's recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.
keyword
event.ingested
Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from @timestamp, which is when the event originally occurred. It's also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.
date
event.kind
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the highest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.kind gives high-level information about what type of information the event contains, without being specific to the contents of the event. For example, values of this field distinguish alert events from metric events. The value of this field can be used to inform how these kinds of events should be handled. They may warrant different retention, different access control, it may also help understand whether the data coming in at a regular interval or not.
keyword
event.outcome
This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the lowest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.outcome simply denotes whether the event represents a success or a failure from the perspective of the entity that produced the event. Note that when a single transaction is described in multiple events, each event may populate different values of event.outcome, according to their perspective. Also note that in the case of a compound event (a single event that contains multiple logical events), this field should be populated with the value that best captures the overall success or failure from the perspective of the event producer. Further note that not all events will have an associated outcome. For example, this field is generally not populated for metric events, events with event.type:info, or any events for which an outcome does not make logical sense.
keyword
http.request.method
HTTP request method. The value should retain its casing from the original event. For example, GET, get, and GeT are all considered valid values for this field.
keyword
input.type
The input type from which the event was generated. This field is set to the value specified for the type option in the input section of the Filebeat config file.
keyword
kibana.add_to_spaces
The set of space ids that a saved object was shared to.
keyword
kibana.authentication_provider
The authentication provider associated with a login event.
keyword
kibana.authentication_realm
The Elasticsearch authentication realm name which fulfilled a login event.
keyword
kibana.authentication_type
The authentication provider type associated with a login event.
keyword
kibana.delete_from_spaces
The set of space ids that a saved object was removed from.
keyword
kibana.lookup_realm
The Elasticsearch lookup realm which fulfilled a login event.
keyword
kibana.saved_object.id
The id of the saved object associated with this event.
keyword
kibana.saved_object.name
The name of the saved object associated with this event.
keyword
kibana.saved_object.type
The type of the saved object associated with this event.
keyword
kibana.session_id
The ID of the user session associated with this event. Each login attempt results in a unique session id.
keyword
kibana.space_id
The id of the space associated with this event.
keyword
labels.application
keyword
log.file.path
Full path to the log file this event came from, including the file name. It should include the drive letter, when appropriate. If the event wasn't read from a log file, do not populate this field.
keyword
log.level
Original log level of the log event. If the source of the event provides a log level or textual severity, this is the one that goes in log.level. If your source doesn't specify one, you may put your event transport's severity here (e.g. Syslog severity). Some examples are warn, err, i, informational.
keyword
log.logger
The name of the logger inside an application. This is usually the name of the class which initialized the logger, or can be a custom name.
keyword
log.offset
The file offset the reported line starts at.
long
message
For log events the message field contains the log message, optimized for viewing in a log viewer. For structured logs without an original message field, other fields can be concatenated to form a human-readable summary of the event. If multiple messages exist, they can be combined into one message.
match_only_text
process.pid
Process id.
long
related.user
All the user names or other user identifiers seen on the event.
keyword
service.node.roles
Roles of a service node. This allows for distinction between different running roles of the same service. In the case of Kibana, the service.node.role could be ui or background_tasks or both. In the case of Elasticsearch, the service.node.role could be master or data or both. Other services could use this to distinguish between a web and worker role running as part of the service.
keyword
trace.id
Unique identifier of the trace. A trace groups multiple events like transactions that belong together. For example, a user request handled by multiple inter-connected services.
keyword
transaction.id
Unique identifier of the transaction within the scope of its trace. A transaction is the highest level of work measured within a service, such as a request to a server.
keyword
url.domain
Domain of the url, such as "www.elastic.co". In some cases a URL may refer to an IP and/or port directly, without a domain name. In this case, the IP address would go to the domain field. If the URL contains a literal IPv6 address enclosed by [ and ] (IETF RFC 2732), the [ and ] characters should also be captured in the domain field.
keyword
url.original
Unmodified original url as seen in the event source. Note that in network monitoring, the observed URL may be a full URL, whereas in access logs, the URL is often just represented as a path. This field is meant to represent the URL as it was observed, complete or not.
wildcard
url.original.text
Multi-field of url.original.
match_only_text
url.path
Path of the request, such as "/search".
wildcard
url.port
Port of the request, such as 443.
long
url.query
The query field describes the query string of the request, such as "q=elasticsearch". The ? is excluded from the query string. If a URL contains no ?, there is no query field. If there is a ? but no query, the query field exists with an empty string. The exists query can be used to differentiate between the two cases.
keyword
url.scheme
Scheme of the request, such as "https". Note: The : is not part of the scheme.
keyword
user.name
Short name or login of the user.
keyword
user.name.text
Multi-field of user.name.
match_only_text
user.roles
Array of user roles at the time of the event.
keyword

If the event source has no original timestamp, this value is typically populated by the first time the event was received by the pipeline. Required field for all events.
date
agent.ephemeral_id
Ephemeral identifier of this agent (if one exists). This id normally changes across restarts, but agent.id does not.
keyword
agent.id
Unique identifier of this agent (if one exists). Example: For Beats this would be beat.id.
keyword
agent.name
Custom name of the agent. This is a name that can be given to an agent. This can be helpful if for example two Filebeat instances are running on the same host but a human readable separation is needed on which Filebeat instance data is coming from.
keyword
agent.type
Type of the agent. The agent type always stays the same and should be given by the agent used. In case of Filebeat the agent would always be Filebeat also if two Filebeat instances are run on the same machine.

match_only_text
event.agent_id_status
Agents are normally responsible for populating the agent.id field value. If the system receiving events is capable of validating the value based on authentication information for the client then this field can be used to reflect the outcome of that validation. For example if the agent's connection is authenticated with mTLS and the client cert contains the ID of the agent to which the cert was issued then the agent.id value in events can be checked against the certificate. If the values match then event.agent_id_status: verified is added to the event, otherwise one of the other allowed values should be used. If no validation is performed then the field should be omitted. The allowed values are: verified - The agent.id field value matches expected value obtained from auth metadata. mismatch - The agent.id field value does not match the expected value obtained from auth metadata. missing - There was no agent.id field in the event to validate. auth_metadata_missing - There was no auth metadata or it was missing information about the agent ID.
keyword
event.dataset
Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It's recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.
keyword
event.duration
Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.
long
event.ingested
Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from @timestamp, which is when the event originally occurred. It's also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.

If the values match then event.agent_id_status: verified is added to the event, otherwise one of the other allowed values should be used. If no validation is performed then the field should be omitted. The allowed values are: verified - The agent.id field value matches expected value obtained from auth metadata. mismatch - The agent.id field value does not match the expected value obtained from auth metadata. missing - There was no agent.id field in the event to validate. auth_metadata_missing - There was no auth metadata or it was missing information about the agent ID.
keyword
event.dataset
Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It's recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.
keyword
event.duration
Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.
long
event.ingested
Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from @timestamp, which is when the event originally occurred. It's also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.
date
event.module
Name of the module this data is coming from. If your monitoring agent supports the concept of modules or plugins to process events of a given source (e.g. Apache logs), event.module should contain the name of this module.
keyword
host.architecture
Operating system architecture.
keyword
host.hostname
Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine.
keyword
host.id
Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name.
keyword
host.ip
Host ip addresses.
ip
host.mac
Host MAC addresses. The notation format from RFC 7042 is suggested: Each octet (that is, 8-bit byte) is represented by two [uppercase] hexadecimal digits giving the value of the octet as an unsigned integer. Successive octets are separated by a hyphen.
keyword
host.name
Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.
keyword
host.os.family
OS family (such as redhat, debian, freebsd, windows).
keyword
host.os.kernel
Operating system kernel version as a raw string.
keyword
host.os.name
Operating system name, without the version.
keyword
host.os.name.text
Multi-field of host.os.name.
match_only_text
host.os.platform
Operating system platform (such centos, ubuntu, windows).
keyword
host.os.type
Use the os.type field to categorize the operating system into one of the broad commercial families. If the OS you're dealing with is not listed as an expected value, the field should not be populated. Please let us know by opening an issue with ECS, to propose its addition.
keyword
host.os.version
Operating system version as a raw string.

service.address
Address where data about this service was collected from. This should be a URI, network address (ipv4:port or [ipv6]:port) or a resource path (sockets).
keyword
service.type
The type of the service data is collected from. The type can be used to group and correlate logs and metrics from one service type. Example: If logs or metrics are collected from Elasticsearch, service.type would be elasticsearch.
keyword

Metrics

Stats

Stats data stream uses the stats endpoint of Kibana, which is available in 6.4 by default.

Exported fields

FieldDescriptionType
@timestamp
Date/time when the event originated. This is the date/time extracted from the event, typically representing when the event was generated by the source. If the event source has no original timestamp, this value is typically populated by the first time the event was received by the pipeline. Required field for all events.
date
cluster_uuid
alias
data_stream.dataset
Data stream dataset.
constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace
Data stream namespace.
constant_keyword
data_stream.type
Data stream type.
constant_keyword
ecs.version
ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.
keyword
error.message
Error message.
match_only_text
event.dataset
Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It's recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.
keyword
event.duration
Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.
long
event.module
Name of the module this data is coming from. If your monitoring agent supports the concept of modules or plugins to process events of a given source (e.g. Apache logs), event.module should contain the name of this module.
keyword
host.name
Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.

Cluster rules

Cluster rules metrics

Exported fields

FieldDescriptionType
@timestamp
Date/time when the event originated. This is the date/time extracted from the event, typically representing when the event was generated by the source. If the event source has no original timestamp, this value is typically populated by the first time the event was received by the pipeline. Required field for all events.
date
cluster_uuid
alias
data_stream.dataset
Data stream dataset.
constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace
Data stream namespace.
constant_keyword
data_stream.type
Data stream type.
constant_keyword
ecs.version
ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices -- which may conform to slightly different ECS versions -- this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.
keyword
error.message
Error message.
match_only_text
event.dataset
Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It's recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.
keyword
event.duration
Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.
long
event.module
Name of the module this data is coming from. If your monitoring agent supports the concept of modules or plugins to process events of a given source (e.g. Apache logs), event.module should contain the name of this module.
keyword
host.name
Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.
keyword
kibana.cluster_rules.overdue.count
long
kibana.cluster_rules.overdue.delay.p50
float
kibana.cluster_rules.overdue.delay.p99
float
kibana.elasticsearch.cluster.id
keyword
kibana_stats.kibana.uuid
alias
kibana_stats.kibana.version
alias
kibana_stats.timestamp
alias
process.pid
Process id.
long
service.address
Address where data about this service was collected from. This should be a URI, network address (ipv4:port or [ipv6]:port) or a resource path (sockets).
keyword
service.id
Unique identifier of the running service. If the service is comprised of many nodes, the service.id should be the same for all nodes. This id should uniquely identify the service. This makes it possible to correlate logs and metrics for one specific service, no matter which particular node emitted the event. Note that if you need to see the events from one specific host of the service, you should filter on that host.name or host.id instead.
keyword
service.type
The type of the service data is collected from. The type can be used to group and correlate logs and metrics from one service type. Example: If logs or metrics are collected from Elasticsearch, service.type would be elasticsearch.
keyword
service.version
Version of the service the data was collected from. This allows to look at a data set only for a specific version of a service.
keyword
timestamp
