Kibana 5.1.1 released
Blog post from Elastic
Kibana 5.1.1 introduces several notable improvements and features, addressing performance and usability issues from previous versions. This release includes the addition of a tag cloud visualization, which graphically represents the importance of words in a body of text, and an Advanced View for X-Pack's monitoring feature that reinstates several charts to enhance data visibility. The update also integrates a UI for the profiler in the X-Pack basic install, aiding users in optimizing query performance by breaking down query timings. Performance enhancements include improved rendering, reduced CPU load from the progress indicator, and solutions to longstanding issues in the Discover app, such as handling indexes with numerous or overly large fields. Users can configure index patterns to exclude large _source fields, preventing Discover from failing on sizable data entries. The release promises an overall faster and more efficient user experience.
