Machine Learning

Added the ability to create and display forecasts for machine learning jobs in Kibana.
Simplified job creation for certain recognizable data sources, such as Filebeat access logs from Nginx and Apache HTTP servers.
Added a Data Visualizer, which enables you to learn more about the characteristics of your data and identify fields for machine learning analysis. For more information, see Creating anomaly detection jobs.
Added bucket span to the chart labels in the Single Metric Viewer.
Added support for job groups when managing jobs in Kibana.
Added the ability to show or hide the Anomaly Explorer charts by selecting a checkbox. The choice is saved in the URL, so it persists if you re-open the view from a bookmarked URL.
Added a new job creation wizard for population jobs, which detect activity that is unusual compared to the behavior of the population. For more information, see Performing Population Analysis.
Added the ability to control the maximum number of rows in the Anomaly Explorer view by swimlane, with options of 5, 10, 25, or 50. Previously, it was fixed to a maximum of 10 rows.
Changed the job creation wizards such that you select an index pattern or saved search before you select the type of job.
Added licensing checks to the job creation features in Kibana. If the license is expired, for example, the create job, edit job, clone job, and start datafeed buttons are disabled.
Added the ability to set the model memory limit in job creation wizards. For more information about the model_memory_limit property, see Job Resource Analysis Limits.
Added a Close Job button that enables you to force the closure of a job when it fails. The button is disabled if the job is running, closed, or does not have a datafeed.
Added the ability to display jobs with multiple detectors in the Single Metric Viewer when the model_plot_config property is enabled. Previously, this functionality was only possible for jobs with a single detector.

Management

[Fixes #12867] "Create index pattern" wizard. #13454

Monitoring

Added Cross Cluster Search (CCS) to efficiently retrieve monitoring data from local and remote clusters.
Improved handling of health check errors. If there is a problem making a query, for example, an error is returned and extra information is provided in the logs. As part of this change, the monitoring plugin for Kibana will never cause Kibana to go red.
Improved logging when X-Pack is not installed on the monitoring cluster.
Saved table interaction states such that if you leave the Kibana page and subsequently return, your filters persist.

Introduce lab mode for visualizations #15050
- Newly introduced visualizations can now be part of labs-mode. Visualizations in labs-mode introduce new more cutting-edge functionality and can be subject to change across minor releases. Labs-mode can be turned off in the advanced settings. Labs-visualization will then no longer be available to the user. The Time Series Visual Builder is not part of labs-mode, it continues to be an experimental feature. The input controls are the first to be flagged as a lab visualization.
