Enhancements

Dashboard
  • If you had a chance to check out the new Dashboard Only Mode in 6.0.0-beta1, we’ve changed things up a bit for 6.0.0-beta2. Previously we required you to flag every role a user belonged to as being in the View dashboards only mode in order for that user to be flagged as a Dashboard only mode user. In this new set up, we created a reserved role, kibana_dashboard_only_user, that is already pre-configured with read only access to the .kibana index, and set up to be in Dashboard Only Mode. All you have to add is this one role to any user and they will now be a Dashboard Only Mode user. We also got rid of this new setting in the Roles UI, as this one role should suffice for most user’s setups. If you have a more complicated setup, such as multi-tenancy with multiple .kibana indexes, you can create more dashboard only mode roles by adding role names to the xpackDashboardMode:roles advanced setting. For more information, see Kibana Dashboard Only Mode.
Discover
  • [Fix for #12343] Remove custom keyboard navigation in datepicker #13644
Management

  • [Management] Provide a way to fetch index pattern titles #13030

    • This PR adds another method to the indexPatterns service to fetch index patterns titles. Since the code was nearly identical to how index pattern ids are fetched, I decided to slightly refactor the function to accept a parameter for which property to fetch from the index pattern. I’ve updated all usages to the new approach.
  • [Fix for #11526, #8225] Move build info from management section to status page #13341
Monitoring
  • Added a tip in the pipeline viewer in Kibana when a pipeline contains a plugin that does not have an id explicitly set in its configuration options. If you specify an ID, you can track differences across pipeline changes. For more information, see Pipeline Viewer UI.

Platform

  • [Fix for #12933] [chrome/nav/lastUrl] do not track redirect routes #13432

    • When you navigate to a URL that Kibana doesn’t recognize it tries to be helpful and send you to discover. At the same time it tries to remember the URL you were last using in each app and bring back where you left off when you come back. Unfortunately, these two features recently collided. If you somehow ended up at an unknown URL that looked like the URL for an app other than discover Kibana would get confused and remember the bad URL and immediately redirect you to discover. If you didn’t give up right away you would probably try to go back to the app, but since it Kibana is trying to be helpful it would send you right back to the bad URL and then back to discover…​ Stupid right?! Well, it won’t happen anymore!
