Connect to OpenAI
editConnect to OpenAI
editThis page provides step-by-step instructions for setting up an OpenAI connector for the first time. This connector type enables you to leverage OpenAI’s large language models (LLMs) within Kibana. You’ll first need to create an OpenAI API key, then configure the connector in Kibana.
Configure OpenAI
editBefore creating an API key, you must choose a model. Refer to the OpenAI docs to select a model. Take note of the specific model name (for example gpt-4-turbo); you’ll need it when configuring Kibana.
GPT-4o offers increased performance over previous versions. For more information on how different models perform for different tasks, refer to the LLM performance matrix.
To generate an API key:
- Log in to the OpenAI platform and navigate to API keys.
- Select Create new secret key.
- Name your key, select an OpenAI project, and set the desired permissions.
- Click Create secret key and then copy and securely store the key. It will not be accessible after you leave this screen.
The following video demonstrates these steps.
Configure the OpenAI connector
editFinally, configure the connector in Kibana:
- Log in to Kibana.
- Navigate to Stack Management → Connectors → Create Connector → OpenAI.
-
Provide a name for your connector, such as
OpenAI (GPT-4 Turbo Preview), to help keep track of the model and version you are using. - Under Select an OpenAI provider, choose OpenAI.
- The URL field can be left as default.
- Under Default model, specify which model you want to use.
- Paste the API key that you created into the corresponding field.
- Click Save.
