Deeper Data Dimensions with Kibana

slides:none on file

Kibana 4 rearchitects discovery around Elasticsearch aggregations so visualizations are composable (top‑5 users then show them over time), it bundles panel queries into a single msearch batching request to cut complex dashboard latency from ~30s to ~10s, and adds multi‑index dashboards, filter pinning, field formatters and a plugin API (example: a Reveal.js slideshow plugin). It uses Elasticsearch cardinality (approximate counting / HyperLogLog) for unique counts, removed costly caches to make 4.1 ~10x more memory efficient.
