This post details the evolution of the Kibana Discover feature, introducing several significant enhancements. A new enhanced data table, powered by EuiDataGrid, now supports resizable columns, adjustable row display, and improved multi-field sorting. Image display in the table via URL formatting has been implemented. Full-screen mode and a document flyout with search and pin capabilities are now available. Field statistics are integrated into Discover for quick data insights. Performance improvements were made by splitting Elasticsearch requests. Alerting functionality has been added, enabling the creation of search threshold alerts directly from Discover. Future work will allow querying data without a pre-existing data view.
