Kibana 7.11 introduces several exciting updates, including the general availability of alerting in the Elastic Stack, marking a significant advancement after nine months in beta. This new alerting framework is crafted to meet the needs of mission-critical monitoring, offering integrations with platforms like PagerDuty, Jira, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Teams. Additionally, Kibana now supports tags for better organization of dashboards and visualizations, a feature requested by many users to enhance content management. The release also enhances data visualization capabilities in Kibana Lens with customizable color palettes and chart labels, and introduces the ability to export chart data to CSV. Elastic Maps Server is now in beta, designed for secure environments, while new geo alerts improve location-based monitoring. Kibana also offers anonymous access to share dashboards without requiring credentials, and enhanced audit logging for greater security and compliance. Machine learning jobs have become space-aware, and a new transform type called Latest allows users to track and update the most recent documents. These updates, along with a redesigned data visualizer and a map view for data frame analytics, are now available for trial with Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud.
