Bosch Runs Production Support with Elastic
Bosch, an industrials organization in Germany, uses Kibana from Elastic to support production support for SREs and developers.
Bosch uses Kibana to see traces and errors in one place when a service slows down.
“In Germany, SREs and developers already knew where application health went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“Elastic builds search, observability, and security software on Elasticsearch, used to find information and investigate operational data.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Production support stays visible to adjacent teams through Kibana |
| Capability | SREs and developers work from the same Kibana record for application health |
| Capability | Application health can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
Bosch did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed production support to move. In Germany, SREs and developers already knew where application health went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Kibana from Elastic is now in that path. Elastic builds search, observability, and security software on Elasticsearch, used to find information and investigate operational data. The company treats it as production tooling for production support, which is why SREs and developers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Bosch can show how application health is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run production support on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
