You’re new to Kibana and want to give it a try. {kib} has sample data sets and
tutorials to help you get started.
Ready to try out {kib} and see what it can do? To quickest way to get started with {kib} is to set up on Cloud, then add a sample data set that helps you get a handle on the full range of {kib} features.

[float]
=== Sample data
[[cloud-set-up]]
== Set up on Cloud

You can use the <<add-sample-data, sample data
sets>> to take {kib} for a test ride without having
to go through the process of loading data yourself. With one click,
you can install a sample data set and start interacting with
{kib} visualizations in seconds. You can access the sample data
from the {kib} home page.
To access {kib} in a single click, run our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud.

[float]
. Log into the link:https://cloud.elastic.co/[Elasticsearch Service Console].
If you need an account, register for a link:https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/signup[free 14-day trial].

. Click *Create deployment*, then give your deployment a name.

=== Add data tutorials
{kib} has built-in *Add Data* tutorials to help you set up
data flows in the Elastic Stack. These tutorials are available
from the Kibana home page. In *Add Data to Kibana*, find the data type
you’re interested in, and click its button to view a list of available tutorials.
. To use the default options, click *Create deployment*. You can modify the other deployment options, but the default options are great to get started.

Be sure to copy down the password for the `elastic` user and Cloud ID information. You'll need that later.

=== Hands-on experience
[[get-data-in]]
== Get data into {kib}

The easiest way to get data into {kib} is to add a sample data set.

{kib} has several sample data sets that you can use before loading your own data:

* *Sample eCommerce orders* includes visualizations for tracking product-related information,
such as cost, revenue, and price.

* *Sample flight data* includes visualizations for monitoring flight routes.

The following tutorials walk you through searching, analyzing,
and visualizing data.
* *Sample web logs* includes visualizations for monitoring website traffic.

* <<tutorial-sample-data, Explore Kibana using sample data>>. You'll
learn to filter and query data, edit visualizations, and interact with dashboards.
To use the sample data sets:

* <<tutorial-build-dashboard, Build your own dashboard>>. You'll manually load a data set and build
your own visualizations and dashboard.
. Go to the {kib} home page.

. Click *Load a data set and a {kib} dashboard*.

. Click *View data* and view the prepackaged dashboards, maps, and more.

NOTE: The timestamps in the sample data sets are relative to when they are installed.
If you uninstall and reinstall a data set, the timestamps change to reflect the most recent installation.

[float]
=== Before you begin
[[getting-started-next-steps]]
== Next steps

Make sure you've <<install, installed Kibana>> and established
a <<connect-to-elasticsearch, connection to Elasticsearch>>.
* To get a hands-on experience creating visualizations, follow the <<tutorial-sample-data, add sample data>> tutorial.

If you are running our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, you access Kibana with a single click. (You can {ess-trial}[sign up for a free trial] and start exploring data in minutes.)
* If you're ready to load an actual data set and build a dashboard, follow the <<tutorial-build-dashboard, build your own dashboard>> tutorial.
