List of Kibana plugins

advancedSettings

WARNING: Missing README.

apmOss

bfetch

bfetch allows to batch HTTP requests and streams responses back.

charts

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

console

Console provides the user with tools for storing and executing requests against Elasticsearch.

Dashboard plugin

- Registers the dashboard application. - Adds a dashboard embeddable that can be used in other applications.

data

The data plugin provides common data access services, such as search and query, for solutions and application developers.

devTools

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.

discover

Contains the Discover application and the saved search embeddable.

Embeddables plugin

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.

esUiShared

WARNING: Missing README.

expressions plugin

Expression pipeline is a chain of functions that pipe its output to the input of the next function. Functions can be configured using arguments provided by the user. The final output of the expression pipeline can be rendered using one of the renderers registered in expressions plugin.

All the arguments to expression functions need to be serializable, as well as input and output. Expression functions should try to stay pure. This makes functions easy to reuse and also make it possible to serialize the whole chain as well as output at every step of execution.

Expressions power visualizations in Dashboard and Lens, as well as, every element in Canvas is backed by an expression.

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.

home
