Kibana 7.0 supports four types of machine learning jobs, described as follows:
- Single-metric jobs: Data analysis is performed on only one index field.
- Multi-metric jobs: Data analysis can be performed on multiple index fields; however, each field is analyzed separately.
- Advanced jobs: Data analysis can be performed on multiple index fields. Advanced jobs provide full configuration settings for detectors and influencers.
- Population jobs: Data analysis of the distribution behavior for less common data, such as detecting outliers in a population.
Let's look at an example of a single-metric job using Kibana.
