Summary

Kibana 7.14 introduces enhanced ad hoc analytics capabilities, including custom formulas and time-shifted metrics in Kibana Lens, alongside a new time slider feature in Elastic Maps, all designed to facilitate quicker insights without compromising speed. The update allows users to compare data across different time periods, apply creative customizations to metrics, and edit geo indices, enhancing the data storytelling experience. Elastic Agent, now generally available, simplifies data collection and protection from multiple sources, offering over 100 pre-loaded integrations with Kibana assets for a seamless data-to-dashboard experience. Available on Elastic Cloud, these features enhance data exploration and visualization, allowing users to define custom formulas, edit maps, and rapidly pivot between visualizations, while Elastic Agent and Fleet streamline data ingestion. Existing users can access these features through the Elastic Cloud console, and new users can explore them with a free trial or via downloadable self-managed versions, as detailed in the Kibana 7.14 release notes and Elastic 7.14 announcement post.
