Elastic, the company behind Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack, released an expanded version of its Kibana training course in response to increased demand and new features.
The Elastic instructor-led course prepares technical or non-technical professionals, data analysts, security analysts, operations analysts, DevOps and others to harness Kibana to visualize, manage and analyze data in Elasticsearch.
Fresh content in the revised course, which has doubled in length to 16 hours, covers new Kibana topics like Canvas, query bar, spaces, advanced settings and much more.
Starting with the fundamentals, Elastic instructors will guide participants through the core concepts of data analysis using Kibana — from simple aggregation-based charts to complex time-series visualizations. No prior knowledge of Kibana or the Elastic Stack is required.
By the end of these lectures, labs and Q&A sessions, Kibana course participants come away with the knowledge to easily find answers and anomalies with data in Elasticsearch.
Participants learn how to create visualizations and dashboards across a variety of data sets. Students keep course materials to continue learning on their own, and they become empowered to manage Kibana by creating users, roles and spaces.
The Kibana Data Analyst course, redesigned from the ground up, now includes twice the hours of training and builds on Elastic's former 8-hour offering.
Elastic's Kibana course is available now and includes 16 hours of live, instructor-led training in a virtual setting. Corporate teams, now for the first time, can also request a private Kibana training course taught by an Elastic instructor at the convenience of their worksite — eliminating the time and expense associated with travel.
Elastic is constantly refreshing and adding new courses to our portfolio of training offerings. These include a series on becoming an "Elastic Certified Engineer," in addition to highly focused and specialized training courses on "I didn't know it could do that," and so much more.
