Spin up the Elastic Stackedit
To use Elastic Observability, you need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data, and Kibana for visualizing and managing it.
You can use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud (recommended), or self-manage the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.
To get started quickly, spin up a deployment of our hosted Elasticsearch Service. The Elasticsearch Service is available on AWS, GCP, and Azure. Try it out for free.
To install and run Elasticsearch and Kibana, see Installing the Elastic Stack.
Now that you have provisioned your first deployment of your Elasticsearch cluster, you’re ready to ingest your logs, metrics, uptime data, and APM data.
