Each release of {kib} brings new features and product improvements. Here are the
|
||||
highlights of the features that were added in 6.3 and how the user experience
|
||||
improved.
|
||||
|
||||
Refer to the <<release-notes-6.3.0, {kib} 6.3 Release Notes>> for a list bug
|
||||
fixes and other changes.

|
||||
=== License management and {xpack} code
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with version 6.3, all of the free {xpack} features, such as monitoring,
|
||||
CSV exports, Search Profiler, Grok Debugger, and dedicated APM UIs,
|
||||
ship with the default distribution of {kib}. When you install {kib}, it
|
||||
generates a Basic license with no expiration date.
|
||||
|
||||
You can view the status of your license, update your license, or start a 30-day
|
||||
trial of https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Platinum features] in *Management
|
||||
> License Management*. The trial enables you to try out features such as security,
|
||||
machine learning, alerting, graph capabilities, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the trial period, your license reverts to a Basic license. To
|
||||
continue using the Platinum features, you can purchase a
|
||||
https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[subscription] and update your license.

=== Autocomplete in the query bar
|
||||
|
||||
{kib}'s experimental autocomplete and simple syntax features can help you
|
||||
create queries. To turn these features on, click *Options* on the right of the
|
||||
query bar and opt in. Once enabled, just start typing in the query bar, and
|
||||
you'll get suggestions for fields, values for keyword fields, and query operators.

|
||||
=== Return to recently viewed content
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} now keeps track of your recently viewed items so that you can easily get
|
||||
back to them. Here's how:
|
||||
|
||||
* Your last five recently viewed items are listed at the top of the home page.
|
||||
A dropdown menu provides access to views further back in history.
|
||||
|
||||
* Your recently selected time ranges are listed in the Recent tab in the time
|
||||
picker.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== Smaller grid dimensions for dashboards
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} 6.3 gives you more control over panel sizes when creating a dashboard.
|
||||
This gives you better control over the layout. Here are the changes:
|
||||
|
||||
* The grid height of the dashboard was decreased from 100 pixels to 20 pixels.
|
||||
|
||||
* The number of columns in the grid was increased from 12 to 48.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== Chained input controls
|
||||
|
||||
The <<controls, Controls visualization>> now enables you to chain dropdown menus.
|
||||
When chained, the value selected in the first menu filters the terms in the second
|
||||
menu. A chained menu is only enabled when its ancestor controls have values.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== Index Management UI
|
||||
|
||||
The new <<managing-indices,Index management>> UI enables you to view index
|
||||
settings, mappings, and statistics and perform management operations. These
|
||||
include refreshing, flushing, clearing the cache, merging segments, and closing
|
||||
or deleting indices. The UI provides a convenient way to perform bulk operations
|
||||
on multiple indices.

|
||||
=== Interactive map support in Vega
|
||||
|
||||
You can now use <<vega-graph, Vega graphs>> to overlay a geographic data visualization
|
||||
on a map. To start a Vega visualization, open the Visualization application and
|
||||
click the *+* button. Scroll to the *Others* section and select *Vega*.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== Easily enable monitoring from the UI
|
||||
|
||||
In 6.3, the first time you open {kib} monitoring, data collection is disabled,
|
||||
and you are prompted to turn it on. If you have permission to turn on data
|
||||
collection, and there is data in the cluster, {kib} displays the monitoring
|
||||
dashboards. If {kib} can't activate monitoring, you'll get a message with
|
||||
suggestions to try.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== Enhancements to the Console
|
||||
|
||||
The autocompletion feature in the Dev Tools Console is now expanded to use all
|
||||
{kib} and Basic {xpack} APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== APM Watcher Assistant
|
||||
|
||||
The new *Watcher assistant* UI enables you to easily generate watches that alert
|
||||
you to errors in your APM data. You can specify an error group occurrence threshold
|
||||
and a trigger schedule. At a fixed interval (minutes/hours/daily), you will get
|
||||
an email or slack notification if an error group has more than the specified
|
||||
number of occurrences.

||||

|
||||
=== Job validation
|
||||
|
||||
There is now an option in the {ml} job creation wizards to validate your choices
|
||||
before you create the job. The wizards provide advice based on your settings and
|
||||
the characteristics of your data. For example, you might be advised to reconsider
|
||||
your bucket span or choice of influencers. By heeding these suggestions, you can
|
||||
create jobs that are more likely to produce insightful machine learning results.
|
||||
For more information, see <<job-tips>>.
|
||||
|
||||
[float]
|
||||
=== Custom URL improvements
|
||||
|
||||
The inclusion of custom URLs in your {ml} jobs enables users to follow links
|
||||
from the anomalies table in the *Anomaly Explorer* and the *Single Metric Viewer*
|
||||
to your URL of choice. For example, you could create a link to an operational
|
||||
dashboard that provides contextual information to help explain the anomaly. The
|
||||
custom URL can include targeted date ranges and optional query parameters as
|
||||
string substitutions. As a result, custom URLs have been challenging to create.
|
||||
In 6.3, when you edit your job in {kib}, there are new custom URL options to
|
||||
help you create a link to the *Discover* page, new controls for configuring the
|
||||
time range of the target page, and a button to test the URL.
