coming[6.7.0]

|

Each release of {kib} brings new features and product improvements.
|
||||
Here are the highlights of the feature and user experience changes in 6.7.0.
|
||||
|
||||
Refer to the <<release-notes-6.7.0, {kib} 6.7.0 Release Notes>> for a list of
|
||||
bug fixes and other changes.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== {kib} localization and support for Simplified Chinese
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} now supports Simplified Chinese, in addition to English. With 6.7,
|
||||
{kib} introduces a new localization framework to support localized text.
|
||||
If you’d like to use {kib} with Simplified Chinese, set `i18n.locale` to
|
||||
`zh-CN` in the `kibana.yml` file.

||||

|
||||
=== Maps for geospatial analysis (beta)
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} has a new application built for geospatial analysis: *Maps*. “Where” is
|
||||
a critical question for most data points, and *Maps* enables you to ask
|
||||
(and answer) meaningful questions for your location-based data. *Maps*
|
||||
doubles down on geo and introduces all new features, such as support for
|
||||
multiple layers and data sources, mapping individual geo points and shapes,
|
||||
dynamic client-side styling, and global search for ad-hoc analysis.
|
||||
To get started, check out this <<maps-getting-started, Maps tutorial>>.
|
||||
|
||||
[role="screenshot"]
|
||||
image::images/highlights-6.7.0-maps.png[Kibana Maps user interface]
|
||||
|
||||
The *Maps* functionality is in beta and is subject to change. The design
|
||||
and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is
|
||||
with no warranties. Please try this functionality in your test and development
|
||||
environments and provide feedback in the
|
||||
https://discuss.elastic.co/c/kibana[Elastic community forums].
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== Follower indices in Cross-Cluster Replication
|
||||
|
||||
{es} has the ability to follow an index in cross-cluster replication (CCR),
|
||||
and {kib} supports this feature with *Add Follower Index*. With this new UI,
|
||||
you can replicate data from existing indices, or set up local followers on
|
||||
a case-by-case basis. CCR is a https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Platinum feature]
|
||||
and is ready for production use in 6.7. CCR is available through a 30-day trial license,
|
||||
which you can activate in {kib} *License Management*.

[float]
|
||||
=== New actions in Index Lifecycle Management
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} has a number of improvements in *Index Lifecycle Management* (ILM). Building
|
||||
on the support for {ref}/frozen-indices.html[frozen indices] in {es} 6.7, {kib}
|
||||
adds the ability to freeze and
|
||||
unfreeze indices in the cold phase. Freezing an index keeps it searchable for a longer
|
||||
period and reduces the hardware requirements. {kib} also now allows you to
|
||||
<<creating-index-lifecycle-policies, set a priority for recovering an index>>
|
||||
after node restart.
|
||||
|
||||
In 6.7, ILM officially moves out of beta and into production use.

|
||||
=== Frozen indices in Index Management
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} has several enhancements in *Index Management* related to frozen indices
|
||||
You can now freeze and unfreeze indices from the *Manage* menu. {kib} also
|
||||
marks frozen indices, follower indices, and rollup indices with badges,
|
||||
so you can distinguish them at-a-glance.

|
||||
=== Canvas is now GA
|
||||
|
||||
Many performance and stability improvements went into Canvas, which is production
|
||||
ready for 6.7. To find out more about what's in Canvas and how to use it,
|
||||
go to the <<canvas, Canvas documentation>>.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting in 6.7, you can upload images in bulk to your workpad. Simply click
|
||||
*Manage assets* at the top of your workpad and select the file picker. You can
|
||||
load your workpad with all of the images (SVGs, GIFs, etc.) you want and then
|
||||
easily access them from the asset picker when you add image elements.

||||

|
||||
Click the link in the workpad header to download a JSON file.

|
||||
=== Infrastructure is now GA
|
||||
|
||||
The *Infrastructure* app is ready for production use in 6.7. This app
|
||||
is a turnkey solution for monitoring infrastructure metrics using the Elastic Stack.
|
||||
You can configure indices and fields associated with *Infrastructure*
|
||||
via *Source Configuration*, specify a neutral color gradient, group the *Map*
|
||||
view by any field, and switch to an alternative *Table* view. For more information
|
||||
about this app, check out the <<xpack-infra, Infrastructure documentation>>.

|
||||
=== Logs is now GA
|
||||
|
||||
The Kibana *Logs* app is GA in 6.7. This app is a console-like experience
|
||||
for working with logs using the Elastic Stack. You can configure indices and
|
||||
fields associated with *Logs* via *Source Configuration* and view
|
||||
metadata and structured fields associated with each log line via the *Log* event
|
||||
details. For more information about this app, see the
|
||||
<<xpack-logs, Logs documentation.>>

|
||||
=== Introducing Uptime
|
||||
|
||||
This release introduces *Uptime*, which enables you to easily navigate the
|
||||
status of your active application checks powered by
|
||||
https://www.elastic.co/products/beats/heartbeat[Heartbeat]. See the
|
||||
Uptime documentation for details.

|

=== Reindex tool reintroduced
|
||||
|
||||
The reindex tool available in {kib} 5.6 has been reintroduced in 6.7 to assist
|
||||
with your upgrade to {es} 7.0. The reindex feature is enhanced in several important ways.
|
||||
When you initiate a reindex through the Upgrade Assistant, the process is now
|
||||
managed in the background. You can navigate away from the page and get an
|
||||
updated status for the reindex when you return. When reindexing, {kib} also now
|
||||
fixes commonly used settings that were removed in 7.0. Finally, if
|
||||
reindexing fails, the tool reverts any changes back to the initial state.
