Reporting 2.4.0 is a newly released product that enables users to generate PDFs of Kibana searches, visualizations, and dashboards, offering a convenient way to capture and share data insights. Initially set for a later release with version 5.0, it has been made available earlier as a plugin for Kibana 4.6 due to anticipation from users. The Reporting plugin integrates seamlessly into Kibana, allowing report creation from open items and supports automation through HTTP requests or integration with Watcher for triggering reports based on events or schedules. It operates asynchronously, utilizing Elasticsearch as its data source and enabling distributed processing across multiple Kibana instances to efficiently manage reporting jobs. Reporting is now accessible to all Elastic Cloud users, requiring only an upgrade to version 2.4.0, with additional resources like a downloadable page and a webinar for further learning.
