About
Kibana is the visualization and analytics layer of the Elastic Stack, providing interactive dashboards, charting, and data exploration capabilities on top of data stored in Elasticsearch. Teams use Kibana to monitor application performance, analyze log data, build custom dashboards, and explore patterns across large datasets — all in real time. Since dotCMS uses Elasticsearch (via OpenSearch) as its core content indexing engine, Kibana can be pointed directly at those indices to visualize content search performance, query patterns, indexing health, and operational metrics.
For development and operations teams managing sites using dotCMS at scale, Kibana provides a window into how the content store is performing — surfacing slow queries, indexing bottlenecks, or content access patterns that would otherwise require manual log analysis.
