In this chapter, we covered the various basic and advanced settings provided in Kibana. Initially, we covered how to configure the index pattern, followed by setting the default index, deleting the index pattern, and customizing the various properties of fields. This was followed by tweaking advanced settings. This can break the software if not used properly. Finally, we covered how to manage saved searches, visualizations, and dashboards, including viewing, editing, deleting, exporting, and importing saved objects.

In the next chapter, which is also the final chapter of this book, we will see how to use Kibana for real-time Twitter data analysis and create beautiful visualizations for different scenarios.
