EP4 Creating Visualization and Dashboard in Kibana Elasticsearch | Rocket Systems
I have a dream of buying my own aircraft and flying it. But obviously I cannot pilot it alone. So if anyone is interested in becoming my co pilot, donate here first https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/rocke...
In today's tutorial, we are going to understand how we can create visualization and dashboard. We will be creating a gauge and line graph for our temperature sensor data. But you can create any visualization. Later we can add all these visualization on a dashboard. Kibana dashboard helps us in visualizing the data instead of manually reading them from standard logs files. This saves a lot of time and trust me when I say this.
EFK stands for Elasticsearch, fluentd & kibana. This is the one stop solution for all of your logging work. Be it a Raspberry Pi device or any other machine, logs plays an important role in the project. But just imagine if we can visualize logs on dashboard instead of reading a standard log file, how cool it would be. Using EFK stack we can design any type of graphs or charts we want for our logs.
Raspberry Pi has been a very powerful embedded device. Because of its small size and good CPU, we can run almost anything on it. Raspberry Pi's have been installed at many remote client site where physical access to the device is not possible. In this situation it becomes difficult to handle logs and just imagine if you have multiple Pi's installed and how difficult it would be do debug any issue. That's wher EFK comes into the picture. We can install fluentd on Raspberry Pi which can start pushing data to Elasticsearch. We can then use Kibana to design dashboard to visualize our logs.

I don't know why I am doing this and I don't even like this but I have to do it now. If you want to support this poor guy, donate here paypal.me/rocketsystems27
