The Logz.io Kibana dashboard contest, announced in July 2017, showcased the visualization capabilities of Kibana across various use cases, with finalists evaluated based on the relevance and impact of their dashboards, the number and types of visualizations used. Among the notable submissions were an AWS security dashboard providing comprehensive monitoring of data from various AWS services, a MongoDB dashboard offering detailed insights into database queries and transactions, an Apache access log dashboard for monitoring API requests, and a Docker dashboard featuring a mix of visualizations based on container logs and performance metrics. The contest aimed to highlight innovative uses of the ELK Stack, with participants utilizing Logz.io's built-in support and automatic parsing features to ship and analyze logs. The winning submission was to be awarded a package to AWS re:Invent 2017, with the community invited to vote on the finalists, ensuring an unbiased selection process by omitting personal information from the submissions.
