Here are the highlights of the feature and user experience changes in 7.2.0.

=== Feature controls
|
||||
|
||||
Want to hide Dev Tools from the left navigation? Show Stack Monitoring only to
|
||||
admins? Or, give certain users access to only Dashboard and Canvas?
|
||||
<<kibana-role-management, Feature controls>> allow you to hide and
|
||||
restrict applications and features in the {kib} UI.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can configure {kib} applications and features based on your users’ needs,
|
||||
and when used with security, based on their privileges. This means different
|
||||
roles can have access to different features in the same space. Power users
|
||||
might have privileges to create and edit visualizations and dashboards,
|
||||
while analysts or executives might have Dashboard and Canvas with
|
||||
read-only privileges.

=== Saved Object Import and Export API
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} has new APIs for <<saved-objects-api-import, importing>> and
|
||||
<<saved-objects-api-export, exporting>> saved objects, including dashboards,
|
||||
visualizations, index patterns, maps, Canvas workpads, and advanced settings.
|
||||
A benefit of this new API is that it automatically exports the dependencies
|
||||
of the saved object. Just export the dashboard you need and its visualizations
|
||||
and index patterns are exported as well. You can use the new APIs in the Management UI,
|
||||
or call them directly.

=== Rolled up data in Time Series Visual Builder
|
||||
|
||||
Time Series Visual Builder now has features for visualizing rolled up data. Similar
|
||||
to Visualize, you can create index patterns that use rollup indices or mix rollup
|
||||
and raw indices to visualize all data together. You can also create multiple
|
||||
y-axes with different index patterns or rollup indices in the same chart.
|
||||
|
||||
When you specify the index in Visual Builder, you must explicitly state the
|
||||
rollup name. Visual Builder will not include a rollup index if you use a wildcard.
|
||||
See https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/28762[PR #28762]
|
||||
for details.
|
||||

|
||||
=== Canvas enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
Canvas provides enhancements to custom elements, workpad filtering, and autoplay.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
==== Custom elements
|
||||
|
||||
Elements, such as charts, metrics, shapes, and images, are the building blocks
|
||||
of a Canvas workpad. You can combine these elements to create new and interesting
|
||||
presentations of your data. Your custom element might be as simple as a metric
|
||||
on top of a geometric shape. Or, you might create a more complex grouping backed
|
||||
by queries and conditional statements.
|
||||
|
||||
With 7.2, you can save custom elements for reuse across your workpads. This
|
||||
reduces the need for copy and paste. It also enables you to share your custom
|
||||
elements with your teammates.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
==== Filter groups
|
||||
|
||||
If you’ve used the time or dropdown filter elements in Canvas, you know that
|
||||
they apply to the entire workpad (and not just the page they are in). This
|
||||
behavior is still the default, but you can now choose which elements are
|
||||
affected by specific filters. This gives you more options for exploring data
|
||||
visualizations.

|

|
||||
[float]
|
||||
==== Autoplay
|
||||
|
||||
As part of the ongoing work to provide kiosk mode in Canvas, version 7.2
|
||||
introduces the ability to autoplay your workpad pages. Once enabled, full screen
|
||||
mode automatically cycles through your workpad pages based on the time interval
|
||||
you define.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== Snapshot repositories
|
||||
|
||||
This release introduces phase one of the {kib} Snapshot UI for managing backups
|
||||
of your {es} indices and clusters. Snapshots are important because they provide
|
||||
a copy of your data in case something goes wrong. If you need to roll back to an
|
||||
older version of your data, you can restore a snapshot from the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Snapshot UI to register new repositories, edit existing ones, and drill down into
|
||||
details about your repositories and snapshots. See <<snapshot-repositories, Snapshot repositories>>
|
||||
for step-by-step instructions. Additional snapshot and recovery features are
|
||||
planned for upcoming versions.

=== Maps in dashboards and other improvements
|
||||
|
||||
beta[]The Maps app now adds the ability to include your saved map on a
|
||||
dashboard. You can view and interact with your geospatial data alongside
|
||||
bar charts, pie charts, and other visualizations. Click the map to
|
||||
quickly hone in on the data you desire, and that data is shown across the dashboard,
|
||||
similar to how you interact with other visualization types. See
|
||||
<<maps-embedding, Adding a map to a dashboard>> for step-by-step instructions.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Additional improvements to the new Maps app include:
|
||||
|
||||
* *Dark mode.* Building on the support for dark mode in {kib} 7.0, the
|
||||
Elastic Maps Service now publishes dark themed tiles. This means that the
|
||||
Maps app now fully respects dark mode.
|
||||
|
||||
* *Collapsible map legends.* Use this feature to get an unobstructed
|
||||
view of a map in a dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
* *Class styling.* Use this style to symbolize map features by class.
|
||||
See <<maps-vector-style-class>> for an example.

|
||||
=== {kib} in Japanese
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} now supports Japanese, in addition to Simplified Chinese and English.
|
||||
If you’d like to use {kib} with Japanese, set `i18n.locale` to `ja-JP` in your
|
||||
`kibana.yml` file. The Japanese localization is a work in progress.
|
||||
We welcome your feedback in the form of a https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues[Github issue].

||||

|
||||
=== Data frames
|
||||
|
||||
beta[] Machine Learning now enables you to transform your data with data frames. A
|
||||
new wizard guides you through the process of creating a data frame: selecting
|
||||
the source data, the fields you want to group by, and the aggregations for
|
||||
pivoting the data. There is also a preview of the transform for reviewing the configuration.

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Data frames jobs are managed on a new list page, displaying the details and
|
||||
status of each job, and controls for starting, stopping, or deleting jobs.

||||

|
||||
=== Search for influencers in Anomaly Explorer
|
||||
|
||||
A query bar is now available in the Machine Learning Anomaly Explorer, which
|
||||
enables you to filter anomaly results for one or more selected influencers.
|
||||
The query bar suggests influencer field names and values for the selected jobs
|
||||
as you type.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

NOTE: When running multiple tenants of Kibana by changing the `kibana.index` in your `kibana.yml`, you cannot use `kibana_user` to grant access. You must create custom roles that authorize the user for that specific tenant. Although multi-tenant installations are supported, the recommended approach to securing access to Kibana segments is to grant users access to specific spaces.
