Workshop

Processing and visualising Hong Kong government open data with Elasticsearch, Kibana and Timelion

By Joshua Rich (Josh)

At the end of this workshop, participants will hopefully have an understanding of how to take readily available open data, import it into Elasticsearch using Logstash and visualise it with Kibana.

In the IoT space, you can expect to be generating significant amounts of data at high rates. It’s therefore important to have a flexible processing and visualisation pipeline for that data so you can examine and manipulate it in real-time.

In this workshop, we will explore creating a mock data processing pipeline using open data from the Hong Kong government.

What this workshop hopes to show you is how easily you can get up and running with the Elastic stack and visualise and explore your data in real-time. Ultimately this workshop should provide you the foundations to expand the example pipeline for your own data or other open source data you find.
