As part of the ES upgrade, I got to thinking that it makes sense to remove Kibana and the dashboards we're currently bundling in the MPack. To be clear, this would not remove the ability to independently install and use Kibana if the user so chooses, it would only remove the dashboards, and potentially, the Ambari/MPack management support that we ship.
*pros* Removes need to support tooling outside our wheelhouse Smaller testing effort for ongoing support and future upgrades Simplifies our base Metron install via Ambari. Also simplifies full dev setup. *cons* User would need to install and setup their own Kibana instance and dashboards. If any existing users are using this, they'd need to backup and manage their own Kibana dashboards going forward. They would also need to handle any upgrade issues with Kibana post-Metron ES 5.x upgrade. Any concerns? Mike
