Hands-on Workshop: Introduction to ES|QL
ES|QL is evolving to be THE query language for Elasticsearch. It is designed to be easy to learn and use, by end users, SRE teams, security analysts, application developers, and administrators. Using ES|QL queries you’ll be able to find specific events, perform statistical analysis, and generate visualisations.

What you’ll discover:

• Introduction to ES|QL: We’ll start with a comprehensive overview of ES|QL, diving into its design philosophy and user-friendly features.
• In-Depth Exploration of Features: Shorten the time-to-insights by allowing users to complete several steps of their work-flow in one place. Access the full value of your Elasticsearch data via easy aggregation and transformation of data.
• Practical Applications: Understand how ES|QL can be applied in various real-world scenarios. We'll share examples to demonstrate the impact of ES|QL on enhancing data analytics, observability, and security.

The hands-on labs will cover the following topics:

• Source Commands
• Processing Commands
• Extracting data from structuring strings
• Aggregations
• Enriching Data (Lookups)
• Visualizations with ES|QL
• Observability Use Case
• Security Use Case
