Marija

Marija is a data exploration and visualisation tool for (un)structured Elasticsearch data. Using Marija you'll be able to see relations between data of different datasources without any modifications to your data or index.

Currently Marija is being used to identify related spamruns, but can be used for all kind of different data sets.

Usage

There are a few steps you need to take before you can start.

• add your elasticsearch server to the configuration

• use the cloud icon to retrieve the indexes

• enable the index(es) you want to search in using the eye icon

• use the refresh icon to refresh the list of available fields

• add the fields you want to use as nodes

• additionally you can add the date field you want to use for the histogram

• and add some normalizations (eg removing part of the identifier) using regular expressions

You're all setup now, just type your queries.

Features

• work on multiple servers and indexes at the same time
• different fields can be used as node identifier
• identifiers can be normalized through normalization regular expressions
• each field will have its own icon
• query indexes using elasticsearch queries like your used to do
• histogram view to identify nodes in time
• select and delete nodes
• select related nodes, deselect all but selected nodes
• zoom and move nodes
• navigate through selected data using the tableview

Workspace

Currently only one single workspace is supported. The workspace is being stored in the local storage of your browser. Next versions will support loading and saving multiple workspaces.

Todo

• Optimize, optimize, optimize.

Roadmap

We're working towards a first version.

• analyze data at realtime
• create specialized tools based on Marija for graphing for example packet traffic flows.
• see issue list for features and bugs
