Kibana Discover Data Table Enhancements

2 posts · Oct 2022 – Nov 2023

What this trail covers

The Kibana Discover feature has undergone significant evolution, focusing on improving the user experience for data exploration and analysis. Key enhancements include a new enhanced data table powered by EuiDataGrid, offering features like resizable columns, adjustable row display (1-20 lines or auto-fit), and improved multi-field sorting. The ability to display images directly in the table by formatting fields as URLs has been added. Full-screen mode and a flyout for viewing selected documents have also been improved. Field statistics have been added to Discover, providing quick insights into a field's top values, cardinality, and distribution. Performance improvements have been made by splitting Elasticsearch requests for faster document visibility. Alerting capabilities have been integrated, allowing users to create search threshold alerts directly from Discover. Future enhancements include the ability to query data without a pre-existing data view.

This panel addresses limitations of the previous Markdown text panel by preserving context (filters, queries) during navigation and resolving cross-space referencing issues. It also introduces a 'Save to library' option for reusing the panel across multiple dashboards and allows for customization of link display (vertical/horizontal, custom text, emojis) and context preservation behavior.
