Kibana is a source-available data visualization dashboard for Elasticsearch, developed by Elastic NV. It is written in TypeScript and JavaScript and runs as a browser-based application backed by a Node.js server. Kibana lets users create bar, line, and scatter charts, pie charts, maps, and other visualizations against data stored in an Elasticsearch cluster, and arrange those visualizations into shared dashboards.

Kibana is a component of the Elastic Stack, a collection of tools for ingesting, storing, and querying log and event data. The stack was originally called the ELK stack after its three original components: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Elastic NV renamed it the Elastic Stack in 2015 when it added Beats, a family of lightweight data shippers.
