The goals of our folder heirarchy are:

To that aim, we strive to:

bfetch allows to batch HTTP requests and streams responses back.

The Charts plugin is a way to create easier integration of shared colors, themes, types and other utilities across all Kibana charts and visualizations.

data plugin provides common data access services.

The ui/registry/dev_tools is removed in favor of the devTools plugin which exposes a register method in the setup contract. Registering app works mostly the same as registering apps in core.application.register. Routing will be handled by the id of the dev tool - your dev tool will be mounted when the URL matches /app/dev_tools#/<YOUR ID>. This API doesn’t support angular, for registering angular dev tools, bootstrap a local module on mount into the given HTML element.

Embeddables are re-usable widgets that can be rendered in any environment or plugin. Developers can embed them directly in their plugin. End users can dynamically add them to any embeddable containers.

This plugin provides methods which will parse & execute an expression pipeline string for you, as well as a series of registries for advanced users who might want to incorporate their own functions, types, and renderers into the service for use in their own application.

Moves the legacy ui/registry/feature_catalogue module for registering "features" that should be shown in the home page’s feature catalogue to a service within a "home" plugin. The feature catalogue refered to here should not be confused with the "feature" plugin for registering features used to derive UI capabilities for feature controls.

The inspector is a contextual tool to gain insights into different elements in Kibana, e.g. visualizations. It has the form of a flyout panel.

This plugin will contain several helpers and services to integrate pieces of the legacy Kibana app with the new Kibana platform.

Tools for building React applications in Kibana.

This plugin registers the basic usage collectors from Kibana:

Utilities for building Kibana plugins.

The navigation plugins exports the TopNavMenu component. It also provides a stateful version of it on the start contract.

Replaces the legacy ui/share module for registering share context menus.

Telemetry allows Kibana features to have usage tracked in the wild. The general term "telemetry" refers to multiple things:

Telemetry’s collection manager to go through all the telemetry sources when fetching it before reporting.

This plugin adds the Advanced Settings section for the Usage Data collection (aka Telemetry).

An API for:

Usage Collection allows collecting usage data for other services to consume (telemetry and monitoring). To integrate with the telemetry services for usage collection of your feature, there are 2 steps:

If your grammar was changed in public/chain.peg you need to re-generate the static parser. You could use a grunt task:

The Kibana actions plugin provides a framework to create executable actions. You can:

This plugin provides alertTypes shipped with Kibana for use with the the alerts plugin. When enabled, it will register the built-in alertTypes with the alerting plugin, register associated HTTP routes, etc.

The Kibana alerting plugin provides a common place to set up alerts. You can:

To access an elasticsearch instance that has live data you have two options:

Experimental Feature

You can run a local cluster and simulate a remote cluster within a single Kibana directory.

The purpose of this plugin is to provide a way to encrypt/decrypt attributes on the custom Saved Objects that works with security and spaces filtering as well as performing audit logging.

This plugin’s goal is to provide a Kibana user interface to the Enterprise Search solution’s products (App Search and Workplace Search). In it’s current MVP state, the plugin provides the following with the goal of gathering user feedback and raising product awareness:

The purpose of this plugin is to provide a way to persist a history of events occuring in Kibana, initially just for the Make It Action project - alerts and actions.

The GlobalSearch plugin provides an easy way to search for various objects, such as applications or dashboards from the Kibana instance, from both server and client-side plugins

This is the main source folder of the Graph plugin. It contains all of the Kibana server and client source code. x-pack/test/functional/apps/graph contains additional functional tests.

You can test that the Frozen badge, phase filtering, and lifecycle information is surfaced in Index Management by running this series of requests in Console:

This is the home of the infra plugin, which aims to provide a solution for the infrastructure monitoring use-case within Kibana.

Fleet needs to have Elasticsearch API keys enabled, and also to have TLS enabled on kibana, (if you want to run Kibana without TLS you can provide the following config flag --xpack.ingestManager.fleet.tlsCheckDisabled=false)

The ingest_pipelines plugin provides Kibana support for Elasticsearch’s ingest nodes. Please refer to the Elasticsearch documentation for more details.

Run all tests from the x-pack root directory

The licensing plugin retrieves license data from Elasticsearch at regular configurable intervals.

This plugin provides access to the detailed tile map services from Elastic.

This plugin provides shared components and services for use across observability solutions, as well as the observability landing page UI.
