Kibana

Exploring Elasticsearch data is what Kibana is for: it provides the web interface where you search indices, build charts and turn raw documents into saved dashboards. Discover lets you filter and slice fields across any index, Lens handles ad hoc visualizations, and alerting watches for thresholds or index patterns you define.

Most people meet it as the front door to log and event data that already lives in Elasticsearch, and can be hosted alongside the rest of your stack.

Hosting the pair yourself keeps indexed event data under your control, avoids metered ingest and retention pricing, and gives you indexes you can restore one at a time.
