Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Kibana is a cornerstone of our observability strategy. We use it for all aspects of our operational workflows, from tailing log files in production to debug events in real-time, to creating beautiful and enlightening dashboards for surfacing key metrics for our leadership team. Kibana helps us both with tracking our "known knowns" and our "unknown unknowns" via its expressive and powerful filters and customizations.
Pros and Cons
  • Fast searches with powerful index.
  • Beautiful data visualizations.
  • Real-time observability.
  • Data ingestion can be slow if not properly architected.
  • Operational workload is heavy to keep it finely tuned.
  • Learning curve for initial install can be steep for a production environment.
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for teams big and small that want a single pane of glass for understanding their systems, from dev, to staging, to production. Well-suited for teams that need to preserve logs for long-term compliance reasons, and also mine their logs for useful operational insights. Highly recommended as both an open source project and a commercial offering with fantastic paid support.
