Santa drives his sleigh using Kibana Dashboards!

Santa's sleigh received a technological upgrade in 2022 with the integration of Kibana dashboards, allowing him to track his global journey and manage a festive playlist. The dashboard utilizes two data sources: navigation information for city visits and a playlist for Santa's enjoyment. This data is converted into NDJSON for compatibility with Kibana, where geographical coordinates and timestamps are key for Santa's route, while keyword fields are used for the playlist index. Various controls, including metric widgets, maps, and visualization tools like Lens and TSVB, are employed to enhance Santa's sleigh navigation and playlist management. The central map control acts as Santa's navigation system, with tooltip fields providing detailed information. Kibana's replay feature allows users to simulate Santa's journey, ensuring data accuracy and engagement during the holiday season.
