The 6.4 release of Kibana includes new features highlighted by the addition of sample data, the Elastic Maps service, experimental API docs, scripted field and saved object changes and many redesigned UIs.

<p>Welcome to the 6.4.0 release of Kibana!</p><ul><li><a href="/downloads/kibana">Download Kibana 6.4.0</a></li><li><a href="/guide/en/kibana/6.4/release-notes-6.4.0.html">Kibana 6.4.0 release notes</a></li></ul><p>You can get all the details&nbsp;in the release notes linked above, but there are a few changes which are worth highlighting:</p><ul><li>One-click sample data</li><li>Improved workflow for inspecting data</li><li>New Beta tutorials</li><li>Saved Objects refresh</li><li>Scripted fields preview</li><li>Custom rules for fine tuning machine learning results</li><li>Improved usability for managing machine learning jobs</li><li>Response time anomalies with machine learning in APM</li><li>New query bar for searching and filtering APM data</li><li>Landing page for Elastic Maps Service</li><li>Apply Vega&nbsp;filters to dashboard context&nbsp;</li><li>Experimental API docs</li></ul><h2>One-click sample data</h2><p>To improve the getting started experience, Kibana has a sample data set that enables you to take Kibana for a test ride without having to go through the process of loading data yourself.&nbsp; With one click, you can install a Flight data set and start interacting with Kibana visualizations in seconds.</p><p>To access the sample data, go to the Kibana home page and click the link next to Sample Data.&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/bltad181a4693ba62f4/5fa98f3097f9f35d942e9b6f/blog-kibana-6-4-0-1.png" width="624" height="431" style="width: 624;height: 431;"/></p><h2>Improved workflow for inspecting data</h2><p>If you’ve used a spy panel in the past to inspect the data behind a visualization, you’ll notice that this feature's been given a facelift.&nbsp; It’s also easier to access--you can inspect visualizations from multiple places in the UI.&nbsp; On a dashboard, open the panel menu for a visualization and select Inspect.&nbsp; In the visualization editor, click Inspect in the menu bar.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt584eb9c28891e07a/5fa98f2ffaf76f509e12e9a1/blog-kibana-6-4-0-2.png" width="624" height="484" style="width: 624;height: 484;"/></p><h2>Additional tutorials for adding data to Kibana</h2><p>You’ll find new Beta tutorials on the Add Data page. The majority of these tutorials are&nbsp;for Metricbeat modules that fetch metrics from services.&nbsp; They include the Beta label to indicate that they are a pre-release of the software.</p><p>To access the tutorials, go to the Kibana home page. In Add Data to Kibana, find the data type you’re interested in and click its button to view a list of available tutorials.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt84b67115b20d1bec/5fa98f2809ed4c6f277eb608/blog-kibana-6-4-0-3.png" width="624" height="483" style="width: 624;height: 483;"/></p><h2>Saved Objects design refresh</h2><p>Saved Objects in Management has a new look. The updated page provides the same features in terms of filtering, importing, exporting, and deleting of saved objects, plus three main improvements:</p><ul><li>You can now import and export index patterns.</li><li><span></span>Importing saved objects has a more user-friendly workflow.</li><li>A new Relationship view allows you to view how other objects use an object, so you know the impact of deleting it.</li></ul><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt4179e635d6dd971f/5fa98f30fd99385ff6003cd4/blog-kibana-6-4-0-4.png" width="624" height="431" style="width: 624;height: 431;"/></p><h2>Preview your scripted fields</h2><p>Index patterns in Management now allows you to test run a <a href="/guide/en/kibana/6.4/scripted-fields.html">script</a> to see if your scripted fields work as intended. If your results require more context, you can easily include more fields in the test run.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>To try out this feature, open Index patterns &gt; Scripted fields.&nbsp; Add or edit a scripted field and click Get help with syntax and preview the results or your script.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Scripts are validated on save.&nbsp; You can’t save a script that won't compile.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blta372f5567cfe6b0f/5fa98f293cdbef7187ce5539/blog-kibana-6-4-0-5.png" width="624" height="483" style="width: 624;height: 483;"/></p><h2>Custom rules for fine tuning machine learning results</h2><p>If you want to fine tune your machine learning results (for example, to skip anomalies related to certain servers), you can now create custom rules in Kibana. Custom rules instruct anomaly detectors to change their behavior based on domain-specific knowledge that you provide. <a href="/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.4/ml-rules.html">See machine learning custom rules</a>.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/bltc7e99eb0822567d3/5fa98f2972a3526f28dba3c0/blog-kibana-6-4-0-6.jpg" width="624" height="567" style="width: 624;height: 567;"/></p><h2>Improved usability for managing machine learning jobs</h2><p>The Machine Learning &gt; Job Management page has a new look, which comes with better searching, filtering, and multi-select options, enabling you to manage multiple jobs with fewer clicks.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt41678ad943916efd/5fa98f274a4abb73ff79c62c/blog-kibana-6-4-0-7.jpg" width="624" height="327" style="width: 624;height: 327;"/></p><h2>Response time anomalies with machine learning in APM</h2><p>The APM UI now integrates with machine learning to show anomalies in response times on transactions. This makes catching unexpected behavior in your services much easier by annotating critical anomalies on top of the response times graph. It’s a one-click setup in the APM UI to get the job running. Please note that the feature is beta in 6.4.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt22adc819dfed8db9/5fa98f2f65bdd35303e00a74/blog-kibana-6-4-0-8.png" width="624" height="244" style="width: 624;height: 244;"/></p><h2>New query bar for searching and filtering APM data</h2><p>Adding a query will instantly apply to the data shown in graphs and tables, making the scope of the data immediately more focused. It comes with a handy autocomplete that helps find the fields and even provides suggestions to the data they include. This way you can easily filter for transaction response times higher than 2000 ms, a particular user ID, or even a response status code. Please note that the feature is beta in 6.4.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt3dc749bd93ee47f4/5fa98f2fffb61e50a0faad3d/blog-kibana-6-4-0-9.png" width="624" height="264" style="width: 624;height: 264;"/></p><h2>Landing page for Elastic Maps Service</h2><p>The Elastic Maps Service powers all geospatial visualizations for Kibana by serving up basemaps tiles and vector boundary layers, key features that are essential for visualizing geodata. The new landing page allows you to preview the data that is published by Elastic Maps Service, either as a map or as data.&nbsp;</p><p>You can do a text search for feature properties, or use your mouse to see the available properties for each feature. You can also use the landing page to download the vector data that is hosted by the Elastic Maps Service.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/blt401af1bedc075263/5fa98f2f4e40cf53001f50b9/blog-kibana-6-4-0-10.png" width="624" height="468" style="width: 624;height: 468;"/></p><h2>Apply Vega filters to dashboard context</h2><p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Vega now allows modifying filters and the time range in Kibana, by adding utility functions, that can be called in your signal handlers. Check the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/17586">PR description</a> for a description of the functions.</span><br /></p><h2>Experimental API docs</h2><p>This release adds documentation for these experimental APIs:</p><ul><li>The <a href="/guide/en/kibana/6.4/api.html">Kibana role management API</a> enables you to control access to Kibana features and saved objects.</li><li><span></span>The <a href="/guide/en/kibana/6.4/logstash-configuration-management-api.html">Logstash configuration management API</a> allows you to programmatically integrate with the Logstash configuration management feature.</li></ul><p>Kibana also provides documentation for the <a href="/guide/en/kibana/6.4/saved-objects-api.html">saved objects API</a>, which allows you to manage Kibana saved objects, including dashboards, visualizations, and index patterns.</p>

Kibana 6.4.0 Released

<h4>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.</h4><p>The Kibana team continues to move forward on its large initiatives. We’re throwing more resources against getting Canvas to beta. Dave is joining the team for the next two weeks to help polish up the design and get it looking at its best. We’re already making sizable progress there and Catherine’s done a great job migrating to EUI components. With all this early effort Canvas will be our first plugin to use Kibana 7’s styling entirely.</p><p>The security team continues their tear of moving Kibana to a role-based access control world. While still early, we’re close on merging some first-phase PRs that will allow us to move to stage 2 of adding individual workspaces to the app. Once that’s in this will let teams segment their content into buckets viewable by certain roles. This should help all of our larger customers who have trouble organizing their 1000s of Kibana saved objects across hundreds of consumers.</p><p>We’re also making progress on moving our visualization libraries into EUI where they can be cohesively styled and made more reusable. That team is also very close to merging in a new inspector, which should greatly improve the experience of seeing the data behind each visualization when viewed through a dashboard.</p><h3>Canvas</h3><p>The team continues to focus on features and fixes related to Beta release and eventual migration to the X-Pack codebase.</p><p><img src="https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltefdd0b53724fa2ce/bltc5d59108544638e2/5f9b21e31f9166620ed86f01/blog-Keeping-up-with-Kibana-2018-06-18.png" data-sys-asset-uid="bltc5d59108544638e2" alt="blog-Keeping-up-with-Kibana-2018-06-18.png"/><br /></p><h5>PRs</h5><ul><li>Release with support for Elastic SQL (in version 2002) <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/443">#443</a> <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/642">#642</a></li><li><span></span>More work for Reporting; correctly handle element done events&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/641">#641</a></li><li>Added temporary SCSS build for Design to use, pending SCSS support in Kibana <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/670">#670</a></li><li>Added legend config to pie charts <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/672">#672</a></li><li>Hide stack traces on errors when in Production mode <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/666">#666</a></li><li>More EUI work <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/650">#650</a></li><li>Fixed issue when deleting the only workpad <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/682">#682</a></li><li>Fixed issue where errros wrapped in Boom were causing unhandled Promise rejections <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana-canvas/pull/673">#673</a></li></ul><h3>Design</h3><p>The design team continuing on mocks for Beats central management. Caroline is working through designs for a new Visualizations editor which we’ll be showing off soon. Chandler closed a bunch of blockers around tables and tabs in EUI and built out a service for fixed position popovers that should solve our positioning woes in EUI soon. Dave started work on <a href="http://snid.es/1M1q2u2k1Q17">cleaning up Canvas</a> and hopes to have it looking sharp in the next couple weeks. We’re also working toward getting a <a href="https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/921">super selector component</a> added to EUI soon.</p><h5>PRs</h5><ul><li>Refactor EuiTabbedContent to track its selected tab by name <a href="https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/931">#931</a></li><li><span></span>Custom column sort values for EuiInMemoryTable <a href="https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/929">#929</a></li><li>Flyout alterations <a href="https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/925">#925</a></li><li>Fix default sort comparator to logically handle null/undefined values <a href="https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/922">#922</a></li></ul><h3>Discovery</h3><h5>PRs</h5><ul><li>[Context view] Incrementally increase context time window <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/16878">#16878</a></li><li><span></span>Allow overwriting filters when adding via `queryFilter` <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19754">#19754</a></li></ul><h3>Geo</h3><p>The team focused on the Elastic Map Service landing page and fixing the Sophox application we use to produce our vector data layers. Work continues on the <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19582">Phase 1</a> of the GIS App first seen at Elastic{on}.</p><h5>PRs</h5><ul><li>EMS Landing Page can be now configured to use staging or production manifests. <a href="https://github.com/elastic/ems-landing-page/pull/11">https://github.com/elastic/ems-landing-page/pull/1...</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/elastic/ems-landing-page/pull/11"><br /></a>Minimize JavaScript for EMS landing page <a href="https://github.com/elastic/ems-landing-page/pull/6">https://github.com/elastic/ems-landing-page/pull/6</a></li></ul><h3>Management</h3><p>The team focused on wrapping up phase 1 of index lifecycle management and phase 1 of rollup support in Kibana.&nbsp; Additionally, some cleanup work is still being done on console.</p><h5>PRs</h5><ul><li><a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19760">https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19760</a> adds documentation links to console</li></ul><h3>Operations</h3><h5>PRs</h5><ul><li>Remove node version validator from git pre-commit hook script <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19950">#19950</a></li><li><span></span>Remove devDependencies from licenses report by default allowing to include dem with --dev flag<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19626">#19626</a></li><li>Changed eslint extends order in order to allow kibana eslint rules to be more important than the ones from prettier <a href="https://github.com/elastic/eui/pull/927">#927</a></li></ul><h3>QA</h3><h5>PRs</h5><ul><li>Fix for timelion flaky tests PR: <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19996">19996</a></li><li><span></span>Converted management tests to ES6 format PR: <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19870">19870</a></li></ul><h3>Security</h3><p>The first phase of our RBAC project is out for review! This phase is the first step to controlling access to Kibana using custom application permissions, as opposed to direct access to the Kibana index. We put some final touches on this PR, which allows us to introduce this feature in a backwards compatible manner, without requiring any changes to the kibana.yml configuration. This all sets us up nicely for our upcoming second phase, which introduces Spaces (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/18948">#18948</a>)!</p><p>Speaking of Spaces, we collaborated with the Design Team this week to prototype a new UI for managing Kibana privileges within individual spaces. We also added the ability to customize the “avatar” for each space.</p><h3>Sharing</h3><h5>PRs</h5><ul><li>Fix gaps in sample data: <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19912">https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19912</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19912"><br /></a>Accessibility fixes:&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19838">https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19838</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19830">https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/19830</a></li></ul><h3>Visualizations</h3><p>Explicit passing of filters and queries (#19172) has been merged. We now no longer rely on inheritance between the application and individual visualizations to apply global filters/queries. Every application (like dashboard) is now required to pass in all global context (filters, queries) explicitly to any visualization. That will allow for panel individual filters/queries and also cleans up some quiet old tech-debts.</p><p>The last blocking issues on the new Inspector are nearly resolved and our work on the new XYAxis chart component (<a href="https://github.com/elastic/eui/issues/536">eui/#536</a>) is moving forward. We've also started adding extension points into the Editor that are required to support roll-up indexes in the visualization editor.</p><h3>PRs</h3><ul><li>Refactoring Markdown lifecycle methods to React 16.3 <a href="https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/19436">(#19436</a>)</li></ul><p><br /></p>

Kibana 6.4.0 Released

Keeping up with Kibana: This week in Kibana for June 18th, 2018
