Lance et. al., My post probably sounded more critical than intended.
Kibana is a great tool, no question about it. It is my go-to tool for most of my work, getting a high level view and being able to quickly drill down to specifics.I spend most of my time on it. I understand that the Roadmap of Kibana does not have to mirror mine. I am simply looking for like minded folk who have found a way to meet other goals such as quick aggregation, graphing, di-graphing etc. Since I rely heavily on it, I am naturally inclined to expect more from it than intended as a consequence of a natural human failing. The more I rely on a single tool, the more I want it to do more than it is intended to. Having said that, it is precisely what drives innovation and improvement. In the absence of that, we would still be using MSDOS and WordStar, :-) Note: This post is intended to be treated lightly. Thanks Ash On Friday, September 26, 2014 2:51:38 PM UTC-4, Lance A.
