</p><h2 rel="line-height:1.38;margin-top:18pt;margin-bottom:6pt;">Kibana UI Update for July 22-26</h2><h2>Hiring</h2><ul>
	<li><a href="https://grnh.se/01f01f5c1">Kibana Applications Security Engineer</a></li>
	<li><a href="https://grnh.se/24ddf24d1">Kibana - Senior JavaScript Engineer</a></li>

	<li><a href="https://grnh.se/7f51db4a1">Kibana - Visualisations Engineer</a></li>
</ul><h2>Security</h2><h3>Copy to Space </h3><p>Work continues on the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/37286">copy-to-space</a> initiative. The <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/38014">API changes</a> are just about ready for review, and have a full suite of functional tests. Additionally, we have <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/42022">changes to the core platform </a>underway to support this feature.
</p><h3>Kerberos&nbsp; </h3><p>We found and <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41861">fixed a bug</a> in the Kerberos auth provider when the client requests mutual authentication and when the negotiation process takes multiple steps before completion. We’ve also been working with Cloud to ensure that Kerberos <a href="https://github.com/elastic/cloud/issues/18750">works properly in ECE and ESS</a>. After working through a number of issues, the last missing piece is a change to the allocator’s health check of Kibana to work with the 401s that are returned when using the Kerberos auth provider.
</p><h2>Platform </h2><h3>New Platform&nbsp; </h3><p>We merged HTTP route handler <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/39767">RFC </a>and started working on the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41894">initial implementation.</a> This is one of the final pieces need to allow NP plugins to register HTTP endpoints.
</p><p>Work has moved forward on the AppService. One blocker, <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41251">the ContextService</a>, is nearing final review. In addition, some of the kinks of how legacy platform “hacks” will run within the context of a New Platform app have been solved. This was the final roadblock to a working&nbsp; end-to-end AppService.
</p><p>We’ve begun tracking plugin migration work more closely. We ask that each team add the “Feature: NP Migration” label to all migration-related PRs in GitHub going forward. We’ll be using this to report on migration progress starting next week.
</p><h2>Operations </h2><p>We’ve made pretty good progress into the static filesystem last week. Tests were completed, a build, test and deploy pipeline was achieved across multiple environments and finally, there is also documentation for the project right now.&nbsp;
</p><p>We have a <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/40933">PR in progress</a> which will reduce the bootstrap time by 15-25 seconds by committing the package builds to the repository.
</p><p>We continue&nbsp;planning out the improvements to our CI pipeline, which is now being tracked <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/41671">here</a>. There is a lot of duplicated effort done in our CI jobs which further introduces space for random failures. The goal here is to create multi-tiered workers so the output of one can be the input for another while also allowing for faster re-builds should a flaky failure happen.
</p><h2>Geo-Maps App </h2><h3>EMS Vector Tiles in Maps app (7.4)&nbsp; </h3><p>Work started on pulling in EMS vector tles in the Maps app. This will be the new default, instead of our current raster maps (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/20791">#20791</a>).
</p><h3>Custom color ramps (7.4) </h3><p>Probably the most requested feature for Maps. In progress&nbsp;
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/bltc6e964e7b66ae482/5f97180c878c0d548cdc137f/blog-keeping-up-2019-07-26-1.png" width="624" height="319">
</p><h3>Pew pew maps for SIEM (7.4) </h3><p>Working on POC to integrate pew pew maps with SIEM. We want this to work at all scales, a global overview when zoomed out, as well as show request details when zoomed in. (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41504">41504</a>)
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt8d1d9b10d30ede00/5f97180c67a7c354926021ca/blog-keeping-up-2019-07-26-2.png" width="624" height="529">

</ul><h2>Geo-Elastic Maps Service </h2><p>All first level administrative boundaries of countries in South America are now published for all versions of Kibana, each with ISO and local identifiers. This brings the total number of EMS layers now to 48. See <a href="https://maps.elastic.co/">maps.elastic.co</a> for details. And of course, use Kibana to pull in the layer for your custom Maps.
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt09934c4b7d0e8434/5f97180c1f9166620ed85bd8/blog-keeping-up-2019-07-26-3.png" width="624" height="667">
</p><h2>App Architecture</h2><p>We've continued our bug cleanup efforts, covering issues related to <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41754">inverting disabled filters</a>, <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41999">duplicate fetches</a> triggered by filters, <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41759">unexpected warnings</a> when creating index patterns, and <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/42079">tagcloud errors</a> with significant terms aggs.
</p><h3>Data Access Services
</h3><p>We opened a PR to <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/42035">cancel visualize fetches when navigating away or re-fetching</a>, which closes 4 issues.
</p><h3>New Platform Migration
</h3><p>We've continued moving full-steam ahead on migration efforts, including more <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41636">Angular cleanup in top_nav</a>, updates to the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41760">markdown vis type</a>, and shims for <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41265">tile map</a>, <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/40966">region map</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41872">table visualizations</a>.
</p><p>A first pass is almost done on <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/39247/">TypeScripting index patterns</a> to prep for migration, and we are in the early stages of shimming <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41878">agg_types and agg_configs</a>.
</p><p>In an effort to share what we've been learning with the rest of the team, we took some time to merge a few <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/40834">updates to the migration guide</a>, particularly around shimming browser-side plugins. We're expecting to schedule a knowledge sharing session on these topics sometime next week… more details to follow in the next UI weekly update.
</p><h2>Kibana App (Visualizations, Sharing, Discover)</h2><h3>Lens (New visual editor) </h3><p>This week we focused on improving the UX for creating Layers, which is better able to support multiple chart types now:
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt135c48743fce00ce/5f97180889353a72dcaeae81/blog-keeping-up-2019-07-26-4.png" width="624" height="419">
</p><p>We also merged our <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41361">Embeddable PR</a> which allows embedding a Lens visualization in Dashboards with support for dashboard filtering.
</p><p>Next week we are going to be working on:
</p><ul>
	<li>Sharing our progress with the QA team to prepare for our beta release</li>
	<li>Building an improved chart switching UI</li>
	<li>Making suggestions smarter</li>
	<li>Integrating the filter bar and time picker into the Lens app</li>
</ul><h2>Elastic Charts </h2><p>Most of the work was focused on bringing a shared API to include new chart types. We have a simplified interface to create spec components and we are trying to move away from Mobx state to a Redux one that will help us to split the state in two: the chart specification state (every configuration build upon the react spec components) and the chart type specific state (that will be created and used after the configuration are parsed). We were also working on fixing the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/elastic-charts/pull/269">last bug</a> to replace the Discover chart. We worked on adding the ability to <a href="https://github.com/elastic/elastic-charts/pull/271">color bars&nbsp; depending on a color function</a> passed to the chart configuration. We finally merged also the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/elastic-charts/pull/219">empty chart state</a> PR that introduce a standard message for the user when the Chart is empty.&nbsp;
</p><h2>Discover </h2><h3>Shard failures
</h3><p>Also we heard that Support really does not find the "1 of 2 shards failed" warning toast helpful at all. So we implemented a proper shard failure error dialog, that you can open from the warning toast and inspect every shard failure in detail. Yay, no more HAR recordings for shard failures … from 7.4 onwards (PR<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41649"> #41649</a> will be merged soon). This modal will work in Discover, Visualize and Dashboard for shard failures.

</p><h2>Canvas </h2><h3>Box select</h3><p>Lets the user highlight an area to then move, rotate or group the elements that are enclosed by the box (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/32995">#32995</a>) - this is included in 7.3, but wasn’t really highlighted until now.&nbsp; It’s an important add, and one that will make designing with Canvas easier and more expressive.
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blte29bf20f0cb0b363/5f97180b6c73a0751fc791d4/blog-keeping-up-2019-07-26-6.gif" width="624" height="300">
</p><h2>Design </h2><h3>Elastic Chart snippets coming to EUI&nbsp; </h3><p>We’re making progress both on providing some basic styles for Elastic Charts and for providing documentation within EUI to give you very easy copy/paste snippets for design team approved™ charts. Storybook will still continue to be a reference for the deep divers, but if you just need something simple that looks good, we plan on having lots of options.
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt81125b37fcc12a20/5f971807cb9eba781f084e13/blog-keeping-up-2019-07-26-7.png" width="624" height="496">

</p><h3>EUI Data Grid updates </h3><p>We’re now working off of a feature branch for the data grid component. Engineering and design are working together to build up the features over the next couple weeks. Right now we have column resizing and some customization around styling. Expect this one to move quickly over the next few weeks. Our goal is still to get this available to folks by the end of August.
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt4a985eaaa638d563/5f97180b89353a72dcaeae85/blog-keeping-up-2019-07-26-9.gif" width="624" height="463">
</p><h3>EuiSuggest components progress </h3><p>We’re working with the App team to add saved queries to the KQL search bar. As part of that we’re making official EUI components and patterns for how to manage the search bar. These will just be patterns and visual components.
</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt45c54b5f1dee843a/5f971803432f517518d3f843/blog-keeping-up-2019-07-26-10.gif" width="600" height="406">
</p><h2>Stack Services </h2><h3>Alerting Service </h3><p>This week changes to the task manager for better error handling has been merged (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/39829">#39829</a>). This PR converts task manager to use saved objects and allows to define custom error handling when a task failed. Now that the task manager supports more custom error handling, work has begun making alerting use the new features (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41917">#41917</a>).
</p><p>Work on the API Keys has begun, there’s an open PR to enable SSL for the integration tests whenever security is enabled (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41765">#41765</a>). This will allow us to write integration tests for alerting when security is enabled (using API Keys which require SSL) as well as when security is disabled (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41389">#41389</a>).
</p><p>Work has started on adding throttling support (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41919">#41919</a>).
</p><p>Not-yet-merged PR for @kbn/config-schema to add a nullable()type. (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41728">#41728</a>)
</p><p>Alerting plugin converted from using joi to @kbn/config-schema for per-alert-type configuration object validation. (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41801">#41801</a>)
</p><p>New built-in action to index data into ES, for parity with watcher. (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41592">#41592</a>)
</p><p>Start of HTTP API cleanup to make endpoints similar in behavior with other Kibana endpoints; first up is cleaning up HTTP DELETE responses. (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/41933">#41933</a>)
</p><h3>Reporting </h3><p>Work continues on our reporting handbook, which aims to help support and other engineers get familiar with all aspects of the reporting pipeline. We’re also making some improvements to our logging and debugging related infrastructure in hopes that this will improve customer’s ability to use our reporting capability. Finally, we’ve addressed a few bugs that our users noticed:

<h3>Security</h3>
<h4>Feature Controls</h4>
<p>This week for Feature Controls was dedicated to crafting release highlights and a blog post introducing the feature. We expect to have the blog post drafted early next week!</p>
<h4>New Platform Migration</h4>
<p>We previously began work on migrating the spaces plugin to the new platform, and we continued this effort this week. Aleh also began looking into migrating the security plugin’s authentication to the new platform. Once authentication is migrated, we’ll then be focusing on moving over the authorization components of both the spaces and security plugins.</p>
<h4>Copy Saved Objects to Spaces (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/37286">#37286</a>)</h4>
<p>We started an <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/38014">exploratory PR</a> for the API that will power this feature. After discussions, we decided to work on preparing the underlying infrastructure for this API in a series of smaller PRs to make the work more manageable. Specifically:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Refactoring &amp; simplifying `savedObjectsManagement` UI Capabilities</li>
  <li>Re-order the Saved Objects Client Wrappers that security and spaces implement to allow the spaces plugin to inform the security plugin which space to authorize against, without the security plugin having to derive this information from the request itself.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Platform</h3>
<h4>New Platform Services</h4>
<p>Unblocking Security Integration</p>
<ul>
  <li>Support for route tags has been merged (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37344">#37344</a>)</li>
  <li>Exposing session storage to auth providers is in review (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37992">#37992</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>Migrating Saved Objects to NP</p>
<ul>
  <li>Saved Objects conversion to TypeScript has been merged (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/36829">#36829</a>)</li>
  <li>Work has begun on migrating the SavedObjectClient to the NP (no PR yet)</li>
</ul>
<p>ApplicationService</p>
<ul>
  <li>The Handler Context (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/36509">#36509</a>) and ApplicationService RFCs (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/36477">#36477</a>) are in the final comment period</li>
  <li>Removal of the last legacy dependencies for the Header UI is in review (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/38175">#38175</a>)</li>
  <li>An end-to-end proof-of-concept prototype of frontend routing and integration with the legacy platform has been proven out. Implementation of this will begin once the Header UI is moved to the new platform. We expect this effort to require many PRs to complete.</li>
</ul>
<p>Licensing Plugin</p>
<ul>
  <li>Investigation and planning for this plugin will begin next week.</li>
</ul>
<p>Cleanup</p>
<ul>
  <li>Simplifying the integration between legacy and new platforms on the client has been merged (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37734">#37734</a>)</li>
  <li>Moving the Chrome and I18n APIs to the start phase was merged (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37915">#37915</a>)</li>
  <li>Making the basePath API on the server consistent with the client is in review (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/38237">#38237</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Kibana Clustering</h4>
<p>To&nbsp;met with the Code team this week to go over the in-progress proxy implementation (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/36907">#36907</a>). We’re on the same page and got some good feedback on a few more necessary asks for the initial beta release in 7.3.</p>
<p>Next week, we’re meeting with the Security team to review authorization, authentication, TLS and PKI protection for this new HTTP port. We want to explore getting as close to Elasticsearch’s security model for cluster access while making it a smooth experience for plugin developers wanting to use Kibana Clustering.</p>
<h3>Operations</h3>
<p>During the course of the week we continued our efforts on updating our dependencies merging and auditing the continuous PRs automatically created by renovate. A lot of those are still expected in the next week. We have also merged a patched version of the relative cache loader which has now fixed the windows development bugs introduced when we merged it the first time. Worth it to mention that we also shipped to useful scripts for developers: one to merge the base branch into the prs (which is a super common operation) with a simple script call and the other to generate the renovate config which will make it easier to others update the renovate config. We are now also using babel 7 to compile x-pack as we replaced the typescript compiler by the babel compiler in the @kbn/plugin-helpers package</p>
<p>Prs:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Declare @kbn/babel-preset as peerDependency for @kbn/plugin-helpers <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37710">#37710</a></li>
  <li>[dev/license_checker][dev/npm] reactor, ts-ify, de-grunt <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37807">#37807</a></li>
  <li>[dev/failed_tests] try to ignore irrelevant failures <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37902">#37902</a></li>
  <li>[scripts/update_prs] implement script to merge base branch into prs <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/38302">#38302</a></li>
  <li>[jest] don't be crazy, run with caching enabled <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/38332">#38332</a></li>

<h3>Kibana App (Visulizations, Sharing, Discover, Reporting)</h3>
<h4>Lens (New visual editor)</h4>
<p>Began integrating our work this week, getting our first configurable chart with real data:</p>

<p>This screenshot is not based on the feature branch yet, but it shows that our individual work is adding up to something larger.</p>
<p>This week we:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Merged the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37391">config panel</a></li>
  <li>Merged <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37648">expression rendering</a> and <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37876">xy expression functions</a></li>
  <li>Merged a PR for converting the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37967">XY chart state into an expression</a></li>
  <li>Merged a change to pass the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/38142">datasource API into the visualization</a> for column IDs</li>
  <li>Built out the editor UI for users to <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37573">build queries</a></li>
  <li>Integrated <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37711">drag and drop for building queries</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Elastic Charts</h4>
<p>KQL:</p>
<p>Using KQL with the autocomplete it offers makes it easier to create a query for a visualization without the need to remember the exact field name and it assists with operators and values.</p>
<p>KQL has been added to the Visual Builder using components that update as a query is entered (having immediate effect on the visualization rendered) with the option of using Kuery syntax with autocomplete or Lucene syntax (defaulting to the syntax set in the Kibana advanced settings).</p>
<p>Previously saved visualizations are migrated to accommodate the change. We assume that if the query language is not present, it is Lucene syntax.</p>


<p><br /></p>
<h3>Design + Docs</h3>
<p>Kibana now has EUI 11.0.1 (The icons one!), and EUI 11.3.1 (The color picker one!) is merging soon</p>
<p>You can now utilize custom icons on Kibana using EUI. This helps us so that we no longer need to package the entirety of the Internet’s logos in EUI directly and gives you flexibility when you might need something custom for you application. Please <a href="https://elastic.github.io/eui/#/display/icons">read the docs</a> to learn how this works.</p>
<h4>Data grids</h4>
<p>We are still very very early into our work on data grids. Right now we’re finishing up a feature spec for the component and doing some very rough proof of concepts for the rendering layer.</p>
<p>Check the demo showing <a href="https://codesandbox.io/s/datagrid-div-custom-dom-structure-pyfrb">how we might handle resizing rows and columns</a>.</p>

<p>And then another demo showing <a href="https://codesandbox.io/s/hookedondatagrids-gx1zk">how we might utilize React hooks for subscribing to updates for the style and content of the cells</a>.</p>

<h4>Compressed panels experiments</h4>
<p>One comment we’ve head as we build more and more complicated “panel editors” (think the right side of Canvas and Maps) is that the forms we use for EUI are a little too beefy when jammed into those sidebars. We’ve started some initial experiments trying to compress them down. Likely these won’t involve too many new formal components but more a guideline for how to create slimmer forms utilizing our popover and label append / prepend mechanics. Here’s a screen to show how some of this might be done in the Maps application.</p>

<h4>Starting to think about embeds</h4>
<p>This is a week of taking stabs at early concepts. We’re doing some thinking about app to app embeds and how we can make generic systems (like a button that leads to a flyout) that allows one app to pull saved objects from another.</p>

<h3>QA</h3>
<h4>Cloud Testing</h4>
<ul>
  <li>Analyzing and opening issues on latest test runs</li>
  <li>Issues can be found here and require triage by relevant functional teams:<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/projects/20"> <span></span></a><a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/projects/20">https://github.com/elastic/kibana/projects/20</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Visual Testing</h4>
<ul>
  <li><a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/33817">Test plan phase 1</a></li>
  <li>Working on getting visual regression into Kibana FTR &nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h4>General</h4>
<ul>
  <li>Team continues to test 7.2.0 Release Build candidates.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Stack Services</h3>
<h4>Alerting</h4>
<p>This week good progress has been made on creating a basic alerting plugin, we are finalizing testing before the PR is good to merge (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/37043">#37043</a>). There are some final adjustments on error handling and validation to be made next week.</p>
<h3>Reporting</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Some “behind-the-scenes” work on Scheduled reports … stay tuned!</li>
  <li>CSV’s with special characters now show a special warning in Kibana as they’re a method of attack injection.</li>
  <li>More work and docs forthcoming for SDH/Support issues. We’ve noticed an uptick in incoming SDH issues that are reporting based (largely due to the new version of Chromium that we’ve bundled).&gt;html here</li>
</ul>
