Welcome to Keeping up with Kibana! This is a series of posts on new developments in the Kibana project and any related learning resources and events.


Canvas

Check out this guest blog by Edan Shahmoon from Micro Focus who was kind enough to share his experience with Canvas. 

Geo

The team focused on ongoing maintenance of the Kibana & Vega maps

PRs

  • Add region ISO code to GeoIP Ingest Plugin in Elasticsearch #31669

Design

Last week the design team started a large project converting Kibana to use Sass in place of Less. This needs to be done so Kibana’s style layer can talk with EUI and paves the way for consistency and theming. We also spent time getting Kibana up to speed with the latest version of EUI (to use our new popover service). Lastly, a pattern was added to give provide an example of the K7 date selector.

PRs

  • EuiCard updates #1032
  • Added visualization type glyphs #1020
  • Fix EuiOutsideClickDetector to work when its nested inside itself #1039

Management

Last week we added a sweet new feature: the ability to validate scripted fields directly from within the scripted fields UI.
