Real time streaming dashboard using Kibana

Hi, I'm trying to set up a real time streaming dashboard for logs, which
would collect logs using fluentd or similar, and all I would want to do is
extract running statistics from the data eg firewall denies / second. I
don't want to keep the data for any time, I just want to get the stats, so
ideally I wouldn't even want to store the logs in ElasticSearch at all (but
I know I have to for a short period)

Any suggestions on how I would do that, with a low retention time for logs,
so that Kibana could be used as a live dashboard?

Thanks!

Kibana only knows to query Elasticsearch, so you essentially have to have
ES running in the background. You can use a short TTL on messages so they
expire automatically after a few sec/mins.

But to me it seems using Kibana is going overboard if all you want to do is
some graphics on top of some custom API?

Would SQLstream be applicable here?
