Query

Index viewQuery one index, alias or data stream with any method, see hits as documents, a table or JSON, and edit, clone or delete documents.Aggregation pipelinesBuild aggregations stage by stage like a Compass pipeline — every stage shows its own result — and switch to JSON or ES|QL at any time.Query workspaceA Kibana-style console made of named request blocks — with autocomplete, formatting, imports, sequences and a response pane.Query libraryFolders, pins, #tags, full-text search, recent runs, history, previous responses and environments with {{variables}}.ExportSave the current page or every matching document as JSON, NDJSON or CSV — optionally with the index definition.

Automate
