Get started
editGet started
editTo use Elastic Observability, you need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data, and Kibana for visualizing and managing it.
Set up on Cloud
editThere’s no faster way to get started than with Elastic Cloud:
- Sign up for a free trial.
- Follow the on-screen steps to create your first project.
That’s it! You’re ready to get some data into your project.
