editView field statistics
editThis functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.
Explore the fields in your data with the Field statistics view in Discover and answer such questions as:
- What does the latency look like when one of the containers is down on a Sunday?
- Is the field type and format in the data view appropriate for the data and its cardinality?
This example explores the fields in the sample web logs data, or you can use your own data.
- Open the main menu, and click Discover.
- Expand the data view dropdown, and select kibana_sample_data_logs.
- If you don’t see any results, expand the time range, for example, to Last 7 days.
