Using sample data is a great way to start exploring the system and learn your way around. There are a few ways to easily ingest sample data into Elasticsearch.

The simplest way is to add one or more of our sample data sets. These data sets come with sample visualizations, dashboards, and more to help you explore the interface before you add your own data.

If you have no data, you will be prompted to install these packages when running Kibana for the first time.

Note

To install sample data sets, you need all Kibana privileges for Integrations. Manage your roles, privileges, and spaces in Stack Management.

  1. Open the Integrations page using the global search field, then search for Sample Data using the integrations search field.
  2. Click Sample Data to open the Add data page.
  3. Select the sample data set you want to install and click Install data.
