Kibana and Orbit integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Kibana and Orbit and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Cybersecurity, and Analytics workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect Kibana and Orbit
- Step 1: Create a new workflow
- Step 2: Add and configure nodes
- Step 3: Connect
- Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
- Step 5: Test and activate your workflow
Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Step 2: Add and configure Orbit and Kibana (using the HTTP Request node)
You can find Orbit and Kibana nodes in the nodes panel and drag them onto your workflow canvas. Orbit node comes with pre-built credentials and supported actions. Kibana can be set up with the HTTP Request node using a pre-configured credential type. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Kibana. Configure Orbit and Kibana nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect Orbit and Kibana
A connection establishes a link between Orbit and Kibana (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your Orbit and Kibana integration
Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Orbit and Kibana with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Orbit and Kibana workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Orbit to Kibana or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.
Build your own Kibana and Orbit integration
Create custom Kibana and Orbit workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
