The Observability plugins are a collection of plugins that let you visualize data-driven events by using Piped Processing Language to explore, discover, and query data stored in OpenSearch.
|
|
|
|
Your experience of exploring data might differ, but if you're new to exploring data to create visualizations, we recommend trying a workflow like the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Explore data over a certain timeframe using [Piped Processing Language]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability-plugins/ppl/index).
|
|
1. Use [event analytics]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability-plugins/event-analytics) to turn data-driven events into visualizations.
|
|
1. Create [operational panels]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability-plugins/plugins/operational-panels) and add visualizations to compare data the way you like.
|
|
1. Use [trace analytics]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability-plugins/plugins/trace/index) to create traces and dive deep into your data.
|
|
1. Leverage [notebooks]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/observability-plugins/plugins/notebooks) to combine different visualizations and code blocks that you can share with team members.
