## Dearest Reviewers 👋 I've been working on this branch with @mistic and @tylersmalley and we're really confident in these changes. Additionally, this changes code in nearly every package in the repo so we don't plan to wait for reviews to get in before merging this. If you'd like to have a concern addressed, please feel free to leave a review, but assuming that nobody raises a blocker in the next 24 hours we plan to merge this EOD pacific tomorrow, 12/22. We'll be paying close attention to any issues this causes after merging and work on getting those fixed ASAP. 🚀 --- The operations team is not confident that we'll have the time to achieve what we originally set out to accomplish by moving to Bazel with the time and resources we have available. We have also bought ourselves some headroom with improvements to babel-register, optimizer caching, and typescript project structure. In order to make sure we deliver packages as quickly as possible (many teams really want them), with a usable and familiar developer experience, this PR removes Bazel for building packages in favor of using the same JIT transpilation we use for plugins. Additionally, packages now use `kbn_references` (again, just copying the dx from plugins to packages). Because of the complex relationships between packages/plugins and in order to prepare ourselves for automatic dependency detection tools we plan to use in the future, this PR also introduces a "TS Project Linter" which will validate that every tsconfig.json file meets a few requirements: 1. the chain of base config files extended by each config includes `tsconfig.base.json` and not `tsconfig.json` 1. the `include` config is used, and not `files` 2. the `exclude` config includes `target/**/*` 3. the `outDir` compiler option is specified as `target/types` 1. none of these compiler options are specified: `declaration`, `declarationMap`, `emitDeclarationOnly`, `skipLibCheck`, `target`, `paths` 4. all references to other packages/plugins use their pkg id, ie: ```js // valid { "kbn_references": ["@kbn/core"] } // not valid { "kbn_references": [{ "path": "../../../src/core/tsconfig.json" }] } ``` 5. only packages/plugins which are imported somewhere in the ts code are listed in `kbn_references` This linter is not only validating all of the tsconfig.json files, but it also will fix these config files to deal with just about any violation that can be produced. Just run `node scripts/ts_project_linter --fix` locally to apply these fixes, or let CI take care of automatically fixing things and pushing the changes to your PR. > **Example:** [` |

Kibana
Kibana is your window into the Elastic Stack. Specifically, it's a browser-based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.
- Getting Started
- Documentation
- Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
- Questions? Problems? Suggestions?
Getting Started
If you just want to try Kibana out, check out the Elastic Stack Getting Started Page to give it a whirl.
If you're interested in diving a bit deeper and getting a taste of Kibana's capabilities, head over to the Kibana Getting Started Page.
Using a Kibana Release
If you want to use a Kibana release in production, give it a test run, or just play around:
- Download the latest version on the Kibana Download Page.
- Learn more about Kibana's features and capabilities on the Kibana Product Page.
- We also offer a hosted version of Kibana on our Cloud Service.
Building and Running Kibana, and/or Contributing Code
You might want to build Kibana locally to contribute some code, test out the latest features, or try out an open PR:
- CONTRIBUTING.md will help you get Kibana up and running.
- If you would like to contribute code, please follow our STYLEGUIDE.mdx.
- For all other questions, check out the FAQ.md and wiki.
Documentation
Visit Elastic.co for the full Kibana documentation.
For information about building the documentation, see the README in elastic/docs.
Version Compatibility with Elasticsearch
Ideally, you should be running Elasticsearch and Kibana with matching version numbers. If your Elasticsearch has an older version number or a newer major number than Kibana, then Kibana will fail to run. If Elasticsearch has a newer minor or patch number than Kibana, then the Kibana Server will log a warning.
Note: The version numbers below are only examples, meant to illustrate the relationships between different types of version numbers.
| Situation | Example Kibana version | Example ES version | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versions are the same. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.1 | 💚 OK |
| ES patch number is newer. | 7.15.0 | 7.15.1 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is newer. | 7.14.2 | 7.15.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES major number is newer. | 7.15.1 | 8.0.0 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES patch number is older. | 7.15.1 | 7.15.0 | ⚠️ Logged warning |
| ES minor number is older. | 7.15.1 | 7.14.2 | 🚫 Fatal error |
| ES major number is older. | 8.0.0 | 7.15.1 | 🚫 Fatal error |
