What’s this?

Basic

The Kibana integration collects events from your Kibana instance.

Configuration parameters

edit

If the Kibana instance is using a basepath in its URL, you must set the basepath setting for this integration with the same value.

Compatibility

edit

The kibana package works with Kibana 8.10.0 and later.

Usage for Stack Monitoring

edit

The kibana package can be used to collect metrics shown in our Stack Monitoring UI in Kibana.

Using this integration package will require elasticsearch to be monitored as well in order to see the data in Stack Monitoring UI. If the elasticsearch data is not collected and only Kibana is monitored the Stack monitoring UI won’t show the Kibana data.

Field Description Type

@timestamp

Event timestamp.

date

client.ip

IP address of the client (IPv4 or IPv6).

ip

data_stream.dataset

Data stream dataset.

constant_keyword

data_stream.namespace

Data stream namespace.

constant_keyword

data_stream.type

Data stream type.

constant_keyword

ecs.version

ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices — which may conform to slightly different ECS versions — this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.

keyword

event.action

The action captured by the event. This describes the information in the event. It is more specific than event.category. Examples are group-add, process-started, file-created. The value is normally defined by the implementer.

keyword

event.category

This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the second level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.category represents the "big buckets" of ECS categories. For example, filtering on event.category:process yields all events relating to process activity. This field is closely related to event.type, which is used as a subcategory. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple categories.

keyword

event.created

event.created contains the date/time when the event was first read by an agent, or by your pipeline. This field is distinct from @timestamp in that @timestamp typically contain the time extracted from the original event. In most situations, these two timestamps will be slightly different. The difference can be used to calculate the delay between your source generating an event, and the time when your agent first processed it. This can be used to monitor your agent’s or pipeline’s ability to keep up with your event source. In case the two timestamps are identical, @timestamp should be used.

date

event.dataset

Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It’s recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.

keyword

event.ingested

Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from @timestamp, which is when the event originally occurred. It’s also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.

date

event.kind

This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the highest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.kind gives high-level information about what type of information the event contains, without being specific to the contents of the event. For example, values of this field distinguish alert events from metric events. The value of this field can be used to inform how these kinds of events should be handled. They may warrant different retention, different access control, it may also help understand whether the data coming in at a regular interval or not.

keyword

event.outcome

This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the lowest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.outcome simply denotes whether the event represents a success or a failure from the perspective of the entity that produced the event. Note that when a single transaction is described in multiple events, each event may populate different values of event.outcome, according to their perspective. Also note that in the case of a compound event (a single event that contains multiple logical events), this field should be populated with the value that best captures the overall success or failure from the perspective of the event producer. Further note that not all events will have an associated outcome. For example, this field is generally not populated for metric events, events with event.type:info, or any events for which an outcome does not make logical sense.

keyword

http.request.method

HTTP request method. The value should retain its casing from the original event. For example, GET, get, and GeT are all considered valid values for this field.

keyword

input.type

The input type from which the event was generated. This field is set to the value specified for the type option in the input section of the Filebeat config file.

keyword

kibana.add_to_spaces

The set of space ids that a saved object was shared to.

keyword

kibana.authentication_provider

The authentication provider associated with a login event.

keyword

kibana.authentication_realm

The Elasticsearch authentication realm name which fulfilled a login event.

keyword

kibana.authentication_type

The authentication provider type associated with a login event.

keyword

kibana.delete_from_spaces

The set of space ids that a saved object was removed from.

keyword

kibana.lookup_realm

The Elasticsearch lookup realm which fulfilled a login event.

keyword

kibana.saved_object.id

The id of the saved object associated with this event.

keyword

kibana.saved_object.name

The name of the saved object associated with this event.

keyword

kibana.saved_object.type

The type of the saved object associated with this event.

keyword

kibana.session_id

The ID of the user session associated with this event. Each login attempt results in a unique session id.

keyword

kibana.space_id

The id of the space associated with this event.

keyword

labels.application

keyword

log.file.path

Full path to the log file this event came from, including the file name. It should include the drive letter, when appropriate. If the event wasn’t read from a log file, do not populate this field.

keyword

log.level

Original log level of the log event. If the source of the event provides a log level or textual severity, this is the one that goes in log.level. If your source doesn’t specify one, you may put your event transport’s severity here (e.g. Syslog severity). Some examples are warn, err, i, informational.

keyword

log.logger

The name of the logger inside an application. This is usually the name of the class which initialized the logger, or can be a custom name.

keyword

log.offset

The file offset the reported line starts at.

long

message

For log events the message field contains the log message, optimized for viewing in a log viewer. For structured logs without an original message field, other fields can be concatenated to form a human-readable summary of the event. If multiple messages exist, they can be combined into one message.

match_only_text

process.pid

Process id.

long

related.user

All the user names or other user identifiers seen on the event.

keyword

service.node.roles

Roles of a service node. This allows for distinction between different running roles of the same service. In the case of Kibana, the service.node.role could be ui or background_tasks or both. In the case of Elasticsearch, the service.node.role could be master or data or both. Other services could use this to distinguish between a web and worker role running as part of the service.

keyword

span.id

Unique identifier of the span within the scope of its trace. A span represents an operation within a transaction, such as a request to another service, or a database query.

keyword

trace.id

Unique identifier of the trace. A trace groups multiple events like transactions that belong together. For example, a user request handled by multiple inter-connected services.

keyword

transaction.id

Unique identifier of the transaction within the scope of its trace. A transaction is the highest level of work measured within a service, such as a request to a server.

keyword

url.domain

Domain of the url, such as "http://www.elastic.co[www.elastic.co]". In some cases a URL may refer to an IP and/or port directly, without a domain name. In this case, the IP address would go to the domain field. If the URL contains a literal IPv6 address enclosed by [ and ] (IETF RFC 2732), the [ and ] characters should also be captured in the domain field.

keyword

url.original

Unmodified original url as seen in the event source. Note that in network monitoring, the observed URL may be a full URL, whereas in access logs, the URL is often just represented as a path. This field is meant to represent the URL as it was observed, complete or not.

wildcard

url.original.text

Multi-field of url.original.

match_only_text

url.path

Path of the request, such as "/search".

wildcard

url.port

Port of the request, such as 443.

long

url.query

The query field describes the query string of the request, such as "q=elasticsearch". The ? is excluded from the query string. If a URL contains no ?, there is no query field. If there is a ? but no query, the query field exists with an empty string. The exists query can be used to differentiate between the two cases.

keyword

url.scheme

Scheme of the request, such as "https". Note: The : is not part of the scheme.

keyword

user.name

Short name or login of the user.

keyword

user.name.text

Multi-field of user.name.

match_only_text

user.roles

Array of user roles at the time of the event.

keyword

event.original

Raw text message of entire event. Used to demonstrate log integrity or where the full log message (before splitting it up in multiple parts) may be required, e.g. for reindex. This field is not indexed and doc_values are disabled. It cannot be searched, but it can be retrieved from _source. If users wish to override this and index this field, please see Field data types in the Elasticsearch Reference.

keyword

event.outcome

This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the lowest level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.outcome simply denotes whether the event represents a success or a failure from the perspective of the entity that produced the event.

keyword

event.type

This is one of four ECS Categorization Fields, and indicates the third level in the ECS category hierarchy. event.type represents a categorization "sub-bucket" that, when used along with the event.category field values, enables filtering events down to a level appropriate for single visualization. This field is an array. This will allow proper categorization of some events that fall in multiple event types.

keyword

host.ip

agent.ephemeral_id

Ephemeral identifier of this agent (if one exists). This id normally changes across restarts, but agent.id does not.

keyword

agent.id

Unique identifier of this agent (if one exists). Example: For Beats this would be beat.id.

event.agent_id_status

Agents are normally responsible for populating the agent.id field value. If the system receiving events is capable of validating the value based on authentication information for the client then this field can be used to reflect the outcome of that validation. For example if the agent’s connection is authenticated with mTLS and the client cert contains the ID of the agent to which the cert was issued then the agent.id value in events can be checked against the certificate. If the values match then event.agent_id_status: verified is added to the event, otherwise one of the other allowed values should be used. If no validation is performed then the field should be omitted. The allowed values are: verified - The agent.id field value matches expected value obtained from auth metadata. mismatch - The agent.id field value does not match the expected value obtained from auth metadata. missing - There was no agent.id field in the event to validate. auth_metadata_missing - There was no auth metadata or it was missing information about the agent ID.

keyword

event.dataset

It’s recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.

keyword

event.duration

Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.

long

event.ingested

Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from @timestamp, which is when the event originally occurred. It’s also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.

event.agent_id_status

Agents are normally responsible for populating the agent.id field value. If the system receiving events is capable of validating the value based on authentication information for the client then this field can be used to reflect the outcome of that validation. For example if the agent’s connection is authenticated with mTLS and the client cert contains the ID of the agent to which the cert was issued then the agent.id value in events can be checked against the certificate. If the values match then event.agent_id_status: verified is added to the event, otherwise one of the other allowed values should be used. If no validation is performed then the field should be omitted. The allowed values are: verified - The agent.id field value matches expected value obtained from auth metadata. mismatch - The agent.id field value does not match the expected value obtained from auth metadata. missing - There was no agent.id field in the event to validate. auth_metadata_missing - There was no auth metadata or it was missing information about the agent ID.

keyword

event.dataset

Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It’s recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.

keyword

event.duration

Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.

long

event.ingested

Timestamp when an event arrived in the central data store. This is different from @timestamp, which is when the event originally occurred. It’s also different from event.created, which is meant to capture the first time an agent saw the event. In normal conditions, assuming no tampering, the timestamps should chronologically look like this: @timestamp < event.created < event.ingested.

date

event.module

Name of the module this data is coming from. If your monitoring agent supports the concept of modules or plugins to process events of a given source (e.g. Apache logs), event.module should contain the name of this module.

keyword

host.architecture

Operating system architecture.

keyword

host.hostname

Hostname of the host. It normally contains what the hostname command returns on the host machine.

keyword

host.id

Unique host id. As hostname is not always unique, use values that are meaningful in your environment. Example: The current usage of beat.name.

keyword

host.ip

Host ip addresses.

ip

host.mac

Host MAC addresses. The notation format from RFC 7042 is suggested: Each octet (that is, 8-bit byte) is represented by two [uppercase] hexadecimal digits giving the value of the octet as an unsigned integer. Successive octets are separated by a hyphen.

keyword

host.name

Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.

keyword

host.os.family

OS family (such as redhat, debian, freebsd, windows).

keyword

host.os.kernel

Operating system kernel version as a raw string.

keyword

host.os.name

Operating system name, without the version.

keyword

host.os.name.text

Multi-field of host.os.name.

match_only_text

host.os.platform

Operating system platform (such centos, ubuntu, windows).

keyword

host.os.type

Use the os.type field to categorize the operating system into one of the broad commercial families. If the OS you’re dealing with is not listed as an expected value, the field should not be populated. Please let us know by opening an issue with ECS, to propose its addition.

keyword

host.os.version

Operating system version as a raw string.

Stats data stream uses the stats endpoint of Kibana, which is available in 6.4 by default.

Exported fields
Field Description Type

@timestamp

Date/time when the event originated. This is the date/time extracted from the event, typically representing when the event was generated by the source. If the event source has no original timestamp, this value is typically populated by the first time the event was received by the pipeline. Required field for all events.

date

cluster_uuid

alias

data_stream.dataset

Data stream dataset.

constant_keyword

data_stream.namespace

Data stream namespace.

constant_keyword

data_stream.type

Data stream type.

constant_keyword

ecs.version

ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices — which may conform to slightly different ECS versions — this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.

keyword

error.message

Error message.

match_only_text

event.dataset

Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It’s recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.

keyword

event.duration

Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.

long

event.module

Name of the module this data is coming from. If your monitoring agent supports the concept of modules or plugins to process events of a given source (e.g. Apache logs), event.module should contain the name of this module.

Cluster rules

Cluster rules metrics

Exported fields
Field Description Type

@timestamp

Date/time when the event originated. This is the date/time extracted from the event, typically representing when the event was generated by the source. If the event source has no original timestamp, this value is typically populated by the first time the event was received by the pipeline. Required field for all events.

date

cluster_uuid

alias

data_stream.dataset

Data stream dataset.

constant_keyword

data_stream.namespace

Data stream namespace.

constant_keyword

data_stream.type

Data stream type.

constant_keyword

ecs.version

ECS version this event conforms to. ecs.version is a required field and must exist in all events. When querying across multiple indices — which may conform to slightly different ECS versions — this field lets integrations adjust to the schema version of the events.

keyword

error.message

Error message.

match_only_text

event.dataset

Name of the dataset. If an event source publishes more than one type of log or events (e.g. access log, error log), the dataset is used to specify which one the event comes from. It’s recommended but not required to start the dataset name with the module name, followed by a dot, then the dataset name.

keyword

event.duration

Duration of the event in nanoseconds. If event.start and event.end are known this value should be the difference between the end and start time.

long

event.module

Name of the module this data is coming from. If your monitoring agent supports the concept of modules or plugins to process events of a given source (e.g. Apache logs), event.module should contain the name of this module.

keyword

host.name

Name of the host. It can contain what hostname returns on Unix systems, the fully qualified domain name, or a name specified by the user. The sender decides which value to use.

keyword

kibana.cluster_rules.overdue.count

long

kibana.cluster_rules.overdue.delay.p50

float

kibana.cluster_rules.overdue.delay.p99

float

kibana.elasticsearch.cluster.id

keyword

kibana_stats.kibana.uuid

alias

kibana_stats.kibana.version

alias

kibana_stats.timestamp

alias

process.pid

Process id.

long

service.address

Address where data about this service was collected from. This should be a URI, network address (ipv4:port or [ipv6]:port) or a resource path (sockets).

keyword

service.id

Unique identifier of the running service. If the service is comprised of many nodes, the service.id should be the same for all nodes. This id should uniquely identify the service. This makes it possible to correlate logs and metrics for one specific service, no matter which particular node emitted the event. Note that if you need to see the events from one specific host of the service, you should filter on that host.name or host.id instead.

keyword

service.type

The type of the service data is collected from. The type can be used to group and correlate logs and metrics from one service type. Example: If logs or metrics are collected from Elasticsearch, service.type would be elasticsearch.

keyword

service.version

Version of the service the data was collected from. This allows to look at a data set only for a specific version of a service.

keyword

timestamp

alias
