advancedSettings	This plugin registers the management settings application allowing users to configure their advanced settings, also known as uiSettings within the code.
aiAssistantManagementSelection	The aiAssistantManagementSelection plugin manages the Ai Assistant management section.
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.
contentManagement	The content management plugin provides functionality to manage content in Kibana.
controls	The Controls plugin contains Embeddables which can be used to add user-friendly interactivity to apps.
customIntegrations	Register add-data cards
Dashboard plugin	- Registers the dashboard application. - Adds a dashboard embeddable that can be used in other applications.

dataViewEditor	Create data views from within Kibana apps.
dataViewFieldEditor	The reusable field editor across Kibana!
dataViewManagement	WARNING: Missing README.
dataViews	The data views API provides a consistent method of structuring and formatting documents and field lists across the various Kibana apps. It’s typically used in conjunction with <DocLink id="kibDevTutorialDataSearchAndSessions" section="high-level-search" text="SearchSource" /> for composing queries.
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.
discoverShared	A stateful layer to register shared features and provide an access point to discover without a direct dependency.
embeddable	Embeddables are React components that manage their own state, can be serialized and deserialized, and return an API that can be used to interact with them imperatively.
esql	The editor accepts the following properties:
esqlDataGrid	Contains a Discover-like table specifically for ES
QL queries:	esUiShared
This plugin contains reusable code in the form of self-contained modules (or libraries). Each of these modules exports a set of functionality relevant to the domain of the module.	eventAnnotation
The Event Annotation service contains expressions for event annotations	eventAnnotationListing
This plugin contains the library listing page for event annotation groups.	expressionError
Expression Error plugin adds an error renderer to the expression plugin. The renderer will display the error image.	expressionGauge

Expression Reveal Image plugin adds a revealImage function to the expression plugin and an associated renderer. The renderer will display the given percentage of a given image.	`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. It is possible to add comments to expressions by starting them with a `//` sequence or by using `/` and `/` to enclose multi-line comments. 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.	expressionShape
Expression Shape plugin adds a shape function to the expression plugin and an associated renderer. The renderer will display the given shape with selected decorations.	expressionTagcloud
Expression Tagcloud plugin adds a tagcloud renderer and function to the expression plugin. The renderer will display the Wordcloud chart.	expressionXY

The Presentation Panel is the point of contact between any React component and any registered UI actions. Components provided to the Presentation Panel should use an imperative handle to expose methods and state.	presentationUtil
The Presentation Utility Plugin is a set of common, shared components and toolkits for solutions within the Presentation space, (e.g. Dashboards, Canvas).	savedObjects
NOTE: This plugin is deprecated and will be removed in 8.0. See https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/46435 for more information.	savedObjectsFinder
The savedObjectsFinder plugin exposes a UI for finding saved objects on the client side.	savedObjectsManagement

The service exposed by this plugin informs consumers whether they should optimize for non-interactivity. In this way plugins can avoid loading unnecessary code, data or other services.	share
The share plugin contains various utilities for displaying sharing context menu, generating deep links to other apps using locators, and creating short URLs.	telemetry
Telemetry allows Kibana features to have usage tracked in the wild. The general term "telemetry" refers to multiple things:	telemetryCollectionManager
Telemetry’s collection manager to go through all the telemetry sources when fetching it before reporting.	telemetryManagementSection
This plugin adds the Advanced Settings section for the Usage and Security Data collection (aka Telemetry).	UI Actions
UI Actions plugins provides API to manage triggers and actions. Trigger is an abstract description of user’s intent to perform an action (like user clicking on a value inside chart). It allows us to do runtime binding between code from different plugins. For, example one such trigger is when somebody applies filters on dashboard; another one is when somebody opens a Dashboard panel context menu. Actions are pieces of code that execute in response to a trigger. For example, to the dashboard filtering trigger multiple actions can be attached. Once a user filters on the dashboard all possible actions are displayed to the user in a popup menu and the user has to chose one. In general this plugin provides: - Creating custom functionality (actions). - Creating custom user interaction events (triggers). - Attaching and detaching actions to triggers. - Emitting trigger events. - Executing actions attached to a given trigger. - Exposing a context menu for the user to choose the appropriate action when there are multiple actions attached to a single trigger.	uiActionsEnhanced
Registers commercially licensed generic actions like per panel time range and contains some code that supports drilldown work.	unifiedDocViewer
This plugin contains services reliant on the plugin lifecycle for the unified doc viewer component (see @kbn/unified-doc-viewer).	unifiedHistogram
Unified Histogram is a UX Building Block including a layout with a resizable histogram and a main display. It manages its own state and data fetching, and can easily be dropped into pages with minimal setup.	unifiedSearch
Contains all the components of Kibana’s unified search experience. Specifically:	urlForwarding
This plugins contains helpers to redirect legacy URLs. It can be used to forward old URLs to their new counterparts.	usageCollection
The Usage Collection Service defines a set of APIs for other plugins to report the usage of their features. At the same time, it provides necessary the APIs for other services (i.e.: telemetry, monitoring, …) to consume that usage data.	visDefaultEditor
The default editor is used in most primary visualizations, e.x. Area, Data table, Pie, etc. It acts as a container for a particular visualization and options tabs. Contains the default "Data" tab in public/components/sidebar/data_tab.tsx. The plugin exposes the static DefaultEditorController class to consume.	visTypeGauge
