Dominion EnergyDominion Energy Runs Incident Response with Elastic
Dominion Energy, a utilities organization in the United States, uses Kibana from Elastic to support incident response for on-call engineers.
Kibana sits in the daily path at Dominion Energy, especially for on-call engineers.
“In the United States, on-call engineers already knew where log investigation 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.”

Story
Dominion Energy did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed incident response to move. In the United States, on-call engineers already knew where log investigation 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 incident response, which is why on-call engineers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Dominion Energy can show how log investigation is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run incident response on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
