Course Description

"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."

Do you want to transform raw data into stunning dashboards, master every corner of Kibana, and earn your Elastic Certified Analyst certification — even if you've never used Kibana before?

Learn directly from an Elastic Certified Analyst and Elastic Gold Contributor (2025), recognized by Elastic for his expertise and real-world contributions to the data visualization and analytics ecosystem — with 5+ years of production experience building dashboards for telecom data, e-commerce analytics, and infrastructure monitoring at scale.

Most people use Kibana at 10% of its potential. They build a couple of basic charts and stop there. This course takes you to 100%.

This hands-on course takes you from beginner to expert with practical projects, real scenarios, and guided labs that mirror the official certification journey. By the end, you'll not only understand Kibana — you'll be ready to build production dashboards, analyze and visualize complex datasets, detect anomalies with Machine Learning, and pass the certification exam with confidence.

What You'll Master

  • Data exploration and analysis with Discover and KQL — basic and complex queries, filters, saved searches

  • Lens visualizations: bar charts, line charts, pie charts, metrics, tables, and geographic maps

  • Interactive dashboards: from basics to advanced options, sharing and exporting

  • TSVB, Runtime Fields, advanced Lens formulas, Markdown and Vega

  • Machine Learning: anomaly detection, outlier detection, classification, AIOps, and predefined ML jobs

  • Alerting: rules, connectors, and in-app alerts for real-time monitoring

Why This Course?

  • Expert Instructor: Learn from an Elastic Certified Analyst and Elastic Gold Contributor (2025) — the exact certification this course prepares you for, taught by someone who uses Kibana daily in production environments.

  • From 10% to 100%: Most users only scratch the surface of Kibana. This course covers everything — from KQL basics to Machine Learning and real-time alerting.

  • Hands-On at Every Step: Practical labs in every module, built around real-world use cases you can apply immediately.

  • Certification-Focused: Aligned with the official Elastic Certified Analyst exam blueprint, with a complete practice exam and detailed corrections included as a bonus.

  • Production-Ready: Learn the real-world practices used by Data Analysts, DevOps engineers, and SREs in production environments.

After This Course, You Will:

  • Build and deploy professional Kibana dashboards in production

  • Visualize and analyze complex datasets at scale

  • Detect anomalies automatically and set up intelligent monitoring systems

  • Master KQL and advanced querying techniques

  • Be fully job-ready and certification-ready for the Elastic Certified Analyst exam

This isn't just another tutorial — it's a complete, expert-led roadmap to mastering Kibana.

Whether your goal is to level up your career, create impactful data analyses and visualizations, or earn your Elastic Analyst certification, you'll learn directly from an instructor recognized by Elastic for his expertise and community contributions.

This course is a gem for anyone working with the Elastic stack. The sections on Kibana dashboards and machine learning were especially powerful, they transformed how I approach data storytelling and anomaly detection. The clarity, pacing, and practical exercises made even the most advanced topics approachable. I now feel equipped to use Kibana in a production environment with confidence.

By Bojejed on 4/5/2026

A truly outstanding learning experience. The instructor managed to simplify complex Kibana concepts like anomaly detection and data visualization without oversimplifying them. I found the hands on approach incredibly valuable It pushed me to experiment and think critically rather than just follow along. This course didn’t just prepare me for certification; it genuinely elevated my analytical mindset.

By Dilexuwy on 4/5/2026

This course exceeded my expectations on every level. The way Kibana was broken down from dashboard design to machine learning features, felt both practical and deeply insightful. I especially appreciated how real world use cases were woven into the lessons, making it easy to connect theory with actual analytics workflows. By the end, I didn’t just “know” Kibana, I felt confident using it as a professional tool. Highly recommended for anyone serious about becoming an Elastic analyst.

By Neselada Tetevo on 3/30/2026

This course is exceptional. It took me from absolute beginner to confidently building advanced Kibana dashboards with Lens, TSVB, custom charts, and geographic visualizations. The instructor’s clear explanations made mastering KQL and data exploration easy, and the real-world labs helped me apply concepts immediately. I also feel well‑prepared for the Elastic Certified Analyst exam.

By Dakixahi Fxzig on 2/1/2026

The course is well paced and covers all the essential topics for Kibana mastery. I appreciated the focus on real world applications, like monitoring server logs, analyzing web traffic, and building operational dashboards. The instructor uses clean, well structured examples, and the course materials are easy to follow. I’d recommend this to anyone working with logs or metrics.

By Rowa Jigom on 2/1/2026

This course exceeded my expectations. It’s not just a “how-to” guide, it teaches you how to think like a data analyst using Kibana. The instructor emphasizes best practices, such as proper index management and dashboard design principles. I also learned how to use Kibana’s API and automate visualizations. This is one of the most valuable courses I’ve taken on data visualization.

By Busany' on 2/1/2026

This course is perfect for intermediate users looking to level up. It assumes some familiarity with Elasticsearch but doesn’t require deep expertise. The hands-on exercises are well designed and help solidify the concepts. I particularly liked the section on creating custom visualizations and using the Lens feature effectively. The instructor is very responsive in the Q&A section too.

By Wagner hezorame on 2/1/2026

What sets this course apart is the focus on real world application. Every module includes practical scenarios I encounter daily. The dashboard performance optimization techniques reduced our load times by 60%. The section on creating runtime fields and using Painless scripting was challenging but incredibly powerful. I love that the instructor covers both the new Lens interface and the classic visualization editors - understanding both has been valuable. The export/import functionality and version control best practices have streamlined our deployment process. The troubleshooting section saved me hours of frustration. Absolutely recommend for intermediate to advanced users!
