Hi guys, I have a wordpress site which uses Elastic search. It is a site to search many thousands of watches. The user can filter by many things such as dial/strap/case materials, sizes, colours, brand etc. What would be the best tool to allow us to digest this data in order to see what users are searching for the most? Is Kibana the correct tool or logstash? It seems a bit unclear.

Many thanks

Hey,

you would need to implement the ability to index your queries into elasticsearch in addition of executing a search. So, your middleware running the query would also index the query (plus maybe the hits returned and some other info) into another index, and then run queries against that index to understand your query behaviour.
