Last Updated:Apr 28, 2024

An Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch cluster provides a portal for you to access Kibana. You can perform operations such as data queries and data visualization in the Kibana console. This topic describes how to log on to the Kibana console.

Background information

The Kibana console provided by Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch allows you to expand your business. The Kibana console is seamlessly integrated into Elasticsearch. You can use the Kibana console to view the status of your Elasticsearch cluster in real time and manage the cluster.

Prerequisites

  • Before you log on to the Kibana console of an Elasticsearch cluster as a RAM user, you must attach the system policy AliyunElasticsearchReadOnlyAccess to the RAM user. For more information about how to grant permissions to a RAM user, see Grant permissions to a RAM user.
