Kibana APIs
1.0.2

Base URL
https://localhost:5601

The Kibana REST APIs enable you to manage resources such as connectors, data views, and saved objects. The API calls are stateless. Each request that you make happens in isolation from other calls and must include all of the necessary information for Kibana to fulfill the request. API requests return JSON output, which is a format that is machine-readable and works well for automation.

To interact with Kibana APIs, use the following operations:

  • GET: Fetches the information.
  • PATCH: Applies partial modifications to the existing information.
  • POST: Adds new information.
  • PUT: Updates the existing information.
  • DELETE: Removes the information.

You can prepend any Kibana API endpoint with kbn: and run the request in Dev Tools → Console. For example:

GET kbn:/api/data_views

For more information about the console, refer to Run API requests.

NOTE: Access to internal Kibana API endpoints will be restricted in Kibana version 9.0. Please move any integrations to publicly documented APIs.

Documentation source and versions

This documentation is derived from the 8.18 branch of the kibana repository. It is provided under license Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International.

This is version 1.0.2 of this API documentation. Last update on May 9, 2025.

Authentication

The API accepts 2 different authentication methods:

Api key auth (http_api_key)

These APIs use key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example: Authorization: ApiKey base64AccessApiKey

Basic auth (http)

Basic auth tokens are constructed with the Basic keyword, followed by a space, followed by a base64-encoded string of your username:password (separated by a : colon).

Example: send a Authorization: Basic aGVsbG86aGVsbG8= HTTP header with your requests to authenticate with the API.

Kibana spaces

Spaces enable you to organize your dashboards and other saved objects into meaningful categories. You can use the default space or create your own spaces.

To run APIs in non-default spaces, you must add s/{space_id}/ to the path. For example:

curl -X GET "http://localhost:5601/s/marketing/api/data_views"

If you use the Kibana console to send API requests, it automatically adds the appropriate space identifier.

To learn more, check out Spaces.

Alerting

Alerting enables you to define rules, which detect complex conditions within your data. When a condition is met, the rule tracks it as an alert and runs the actions that are defined in the rule. Actions typically involve the use of connectors to interact with Kibana services or third party integrations.

Alerting documentation

Get the alerting framework health

GET /api/alerting/_health

You must have read privileges for the Management > Stack Rules feature or for at least one of the Analytics > Discover, Analytics > Machine Learning, Observability, or Security features.

Get the rule types

GET /api/alerting/rule_types

If you have read privileges for one or more Kibana features, the API response contains information about the appropriate rule types. For example, there are rule types associated with the Management > Stack Rules feature, Analytics > Discover and Machine Learning features, Observability features, and Security features. To get rule types associated with the Stack Monitoring feature, use the monitoring_user built-in role.

Update an alert Deprecated

PUT /api/alerts/alert/{alertId}

Deprecated in 7.13.0. Use the update rule API instead.

Headers

  • kbn-xsrf string Required

    Cross-site request forgery protection

Path parameters

  • alertId string Required

    The identifier for the alert.

application/json

Body Required

  • actions array[object]
    Hide actions attributes Show actions attributes object
    • actionTypeId string Required

      The identifier for the action type.

    • group string Required

      Grouping actions is recommended for escalations for different types of alert instances. If you don't need this functionality, set it to default.

    • id string Required

      The ID of the action saved object.

    • params object Required

      The map to the params that the action type will receive. params are handled as Mustache templates and passed a default set of context.

  • name string Required

    A name to reference and search.

  • notifyWhen string Required

    The condition for throttling the notification.

    Values are onActionGroupChange, onActiveAlert, or onThrottleInterval.

  • params object Required

    The parameters to pass to the alert type executor params value. This will also validate against the alert type params validator, if defined.

  • schedule object Required

    The schedule specifying when this alert should be run. A schedule is structured such that the key specifies the format you wish to use and its value specifies the schedule.

    Hide schedule attribute Show schedule attribute object
    • interval string

      The interval format specifies the interval in seconds, minutes, hours or days at which the alert should run.

  • tags array[string]

    A list of keywords to reference and search.

  • throttle string

    How often this alert should fire the same actions. This will prevent the alert from sending out the same notification over and over. For example, if an alert with a schedule of 1 minute stays in a triggered state for 90 minutes, setting a throttle of 10m or 1h will prevent it from sending 90 notifications during this period.

Add case settings

POST /api/cases/configure

Case settings include external connection details, custom fields, and templates. Connectors are used to interface with external systems. You must create a connector before you can use it in your cases. If you set a default connector, it is automatically selected when you create cases in Kibana. If you use the create case API, however, you must still specify all of the connector details. You must have all privileges for the Cases feature in the Management, Observability, or Security section of the Kibana feature privileges, depending on where you are creating cases.
