Addressing tags - refs and notability[edit]

I saw the tags for additional refs and notability, so added a second para as way to cite a book on Kibana and a short Forbes article which mentions the product briefly.

It occurs to me that this product does not stand alone, so it may make more sense to make new sections in the Elasticsearch article to mention the Logstash and Kibana parts of the ELK stack, move this article material there, and make this article into a redirect to that one.

Name meaning?[edit]

Does the word Kibana mean something?[1] What language does it come from (if any)? Is an existing word with the spelling changed, or is it made up nonsense like "Accenture"? If an explanation for the word Kibana exists it would be good if the article included it. -- 109.76.200.10 (talk) 16:25, 24 January 2021 (UTC) I found [2] explanation in an Elastic forum saying it means "baby" in Swahili, but was originally meant to be the Swahili word for "wood hut" and is possibly (unintentionally) misspelled in some way. 2001:16B8:4672:3500:896:13B8:5AFD:A72B (talk) 20:43, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proprietary or open-source?[edit]

The opening paragraph says it is proprietary, but the template says it is open-source. Is the template referring to something other than Kibana, such as OpenSearch? The apparent contradiction to a person that initially comes to the article is confusing. Stephenamills (talk) 22:08, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Elastic themselves say clearly that the Elastic License is not an open source license, but rather source available. So the infobox should be fixed. I'm not doing it myself because I work on OpenSearch for Amazon, and I want to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Someone who is not affiliated with OpenSearch or Amazon should update the infobox. --Macrakis (talk) 18:42, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
