OpenTelemetry browser instrumentation using EDOT Browser & Kibana
A step-by-step guide on OpenTelemetry browser instrumentation. Learn how to add EDOT Browser to a web app, export browser telemetry via OTLP, and verify traces, spans, and service maps in Kibana.
Exploring metrics from a new time series data stream in Discover
Discover helps you see and understand the metrics in a time series stream, with no manual work required. Once you see that your metrics data is flowing, you're ready to build dashboards, alerts, SLOs, and more.
How Streams Generates a Log Pipeline in Seconds
Streams generates a complete, tested log processing pipeline from a single click. Here's the two-stage mechanism behind it: deterministic fingerprinting, a reasoning agent that iterates against real data, and hard validation thresholds that enforce quality before you see the result.
Query Prometheus Metrics in Elasticsearch with Native PromQL Support
Elasticsearch now supports PromQL natively as a first-class source command in ES|QL. Run familiar Prometheus queries on your time series data directly in Kibana.
Your PromQL queries now run in Kibana!
With PromQL now natively supported in Kibana, write and execute PromQL for analyzing metrics in Discover, in Dashboards visualizations, in alerting rules and wherever else ES|QL is supported. PromQL is currently available in Tech Preview for common metrics analytics use cases.

How to cut Elasticsearch log storage costs with LogsDB
Learn how to enable LogsDB index mode in Elasticsearch and measure real storage savings. We compare a standard index against a LogsDB index using Apache logs and show how much storage you can reclaim.
Elasticsearch over the years — how LogsDB cuts index size by up to 75% at no throughput cost
By default, Elasticsearch is optimized for retrieval, not storage. LogsDB changes that. Here's the layered architecture behind a 77% index size reduction.
