The latest updates in Kibana, as of February 11, 2020, include new opportunities for employment, such as roles for a Senior Product Designer, a Senior JavaScript Engineer, and a Principal Product Manager among others. Developers can now utilize the new getServerInfo() API to access Kibana’s public URL, and benefit from enhancements in the app architecture with the SearchBar and TopNavMenu components, which now come with pre-wired default behaviors for managing filter and query states, auto-refresh settings, and saved query workflows. These components can be activated by setting useDefaultBehaviors to "true," though observables and callbacks are still required for notifications on state changes. Additionally, the updated Plugin Generator tool is available for creating new Kibana Platform plugins, aligning with the latest plugin structure and guidelines, and feedback is encouraged for further improvements.
