{eql-ref}/index.html[Event Query Language (EQL)] is a query language used for
|
|
logs and other event-based data.
|
|
|
|
You can use EQL in {es} to easily express relationships between events and
|
|
quickly match events with shared properties. You can use EQL and query
|
|
DSL together to better filter your searches.
