=== Index lifecycle policies (beta)
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} has additional *Management* user interfaces that provide a simple,
|
||||
user-friendly way to use advanced features. This version introduces
|
||||
*Index Lifecycle Policies*. If you use time series indices, this feature can
|
||||
help you keep your clusters tidy. You can create and manage index lifecycle policies,
|
||||
which automate actions such as rolling over an index, relocating shards to warm
|
||||
or cold nodes, merging shards, and deleting outdated indices.
|
||||
See {kibana-ref}/index-lifecycle-policies.html[Index lifecycle policies].

|

=== Remote clusters and Auto-follow pattern
|
||||
|
||||
{kib} *Management* also has two new user interfaces for cross cluster replication.
|
||||
*Remote clusters* helps you manage your remote clusters for use with cross cluster
|
||||
search and cross cluster replication. You can add and remove remote clusters
|
||||
and check their connectivity.

|
||||
|
||||
*Auto-follow pattern* helps you create and manage the remote replication process.
|
||||
You can follow an index pattern on the remote cluster for auto-discovery and
|
||||
then replicate new clusters that match the pattern.

=== Enhancements in Canvas (beta)
|
||||
|
||||
Quite a few improvements made their way into Canvas.
|
||||
|
||||
Element grouping is now available—you can combine your favorite elements
|
||||
and manipulate them as one. Simply hold down the *Shift* key to select a few
|
||||
elements, and then press *G* to group them. To ungroup your grouped elements,
|
||||
press *U*.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
This version also introduces the ability to copy and paste elements. You can copy
|
||||
elements between pages of your workpad and across different workpads.
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re a CSS guru and enjoy styling your elements with custom CSS, you’ll
|
||||
be excited to learn that Canvas supports global CSS across your entire workpad.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, Canvas has two workpad templates to help you get started. You can
|
||||
choose between a light and a dark themed workpad. Look for the *Templates* tab on
|
||||
the Canvas home page.

=== Reporting: Export dashboard to a png
|
||||
You can now export dashboards as a PNG report. This makes it easier for you to
|
||||
share and embed your graphics in blogs, websites, and presentations. PNG
|
||||
reporting is available in the *Share* menu from the {kib} toolbar. You must have
|
||||
a https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Gold license] to use
|
||||
https://www.elastic.co/products/stack/reporting[Reporting features].

=== Upgrade Assistant for Elasticsearch 7.0
|
||||
|
||||
{kib}'s revised Upgrade Assistant can help you prepare for an upgrade from
|
||||
{es} 6.x to {es} 7.0. The assistant identifies issues you need to address
|
||||
before upgrading and simplifies the migration of indices that require reindexing.
|
||||
You'll find this feature in *Management > {es} > Upgrade Assistant*.

|
||||
=== Support for multiple Elasticsearch nodes
|
||||
|
||||
For increased stability, you can now define multiple {es} nodes for {kib}. This
|
||||
prevents {kib} from being tied to a single {es} node while allowing for the
|
||||
requests to be distributed over multiple nodes in the cluster. Simply set
|
||||
`elasticsearch.host` in your kibana.yml file to the URLs of the {es} nodes you
|
||||
want to use. You can also configure {kib} to automatically discover other nodes
|
||||
in the cluster (`elasticsearch.sniffOnStart`) or on an interval (`elasticsearch.sniffInterval`).
|
||||
For more information, see {kibana-ref}/settings.html[Kibana configuration settings].

=== Production version of Time Series Visual Builder
|
||||
|
||||
{kibana-ref}/time-series-visual-builder.html[Time Series Visual Builder] is now in production use.
|
||||
This visualization has also been enhanced to use the
|
||||
{kibana-ref}/kuery-query.html[Kibana query language (KQL)] to filter and query data.
