I'll make that change when I change the other titles in the section.

TIP: By default, Kibana connects to the Elasticsearch instance running on `localhost`. To connect to a
different Elasticsearch instance, modify the Elasticsearch URL in the `kibana.yml` configuration file and
restart Kibana. For information about using Kibana with your production nodes, see <<production>>.

All done! Kibana is now connected to your Elasticsearch data. Kibana displays a read-only list of fields
configured for the matching index.
{kib} also provides <<get-data-in, sample data sets>> for you to use.

Do we really want to say File Data Visualizer or GeoJSON Upload feature before we tell them what these features are? I would pair down this list to:

  • Load your data from a log file
  • Index logs, metrics, events, and application data
  • Connect Kibana to your Elasticsearch indices

Then get into the nitty gritty in the sections below.
