Summary

Kibana 7.10 introduces several major updates, including the general availability of Kibana Lens, a user-friendly tool for visualizing Elasticsearch data with a drag-and-drop interface, now recommended for production use. This release enhances dashboard capabilities with URL drilldowns, allowing users to seamlessly transition from data insights to actions by linking dashboards to external URLs. Role-based access controls have been added for alerts, providing more secure management of notifications. The update also includes improved navigational search, support for the Vega visualization language, and new alerting features, such as testing alert connectors and expanded alert statuses. Geospatial data handling is enhanced with simplified file uploads and super-fine resolution options in Elastic Maps, and machine learning features have been upgraded with better anomaly detection and model management capabilities. Additionally, Kibana's Stack Management interface has been streamlined to display only the features each user is authorized to access, improving user experience and security management.
