Create and manage datasets for ES|QL Data Federation

Create and manage ES|QL Data Federation datasets in Kibana or with the Elasticsearch API. Before creating a dataset, connect a data source and review how to define a dataset. Creating a dataset doesn't check that the data source can read its resource, so also grant read access to the data in your cloud provider.

You can manage datasets in two ways:

Kibana UI

Add datasets with a step-by-step wizard, and view, edit, and delete them from the Datasets tab.

API

Create, get, list, and delete datasets with the /_query/dataset endpoint.

With audit logging enabled, creating, updating, and deleting datasets generates security_config_change events. Refer to put_dataset and delete_dataset.
