Hi guys,

I have following question for you. 

Let's say that I would like to use alternative reporting tool to display 
aggregated data and documents from Elasticsearch instead of Kibana. There 
is nothing wrong with Kibana as such but alternative tool may have 
additional features that I may found useful; KPI and treshold management, 
notifications when particular KPI values are reached, ability to provide 
rich visualizations (Tableau) etc. To be concreate, I would like to consume 
Elasticsearch results from Kibana and Pentaho also. I have found that there 
may be some Pentaho Kettle job to extract data from Elasticseach but due to 
very limited information use case for this is really not clear.

I have found that Elasticsearch supports snapshots and repositories which 
may be what I am looking for but I am not sure if these data structures are 
consumable by other tools even using ETL engine. 

One particular use case I have in mind is to take Elasticsearch snapshot 
and tranform it using ETL to star schema into traditional OLAP database 
from which I can make regular OLAP drilldown/ data slicing queries. 
Scenario I have in mind is to use Elasticsearch platform for live, 
most-up-to-date analytical queries while I can use durable storage as 
back-up or archive of Elasticsearch documents. Such archive can be used for 
offline reporting.

Technically it boils down to the question what data formats are passed 
between Elasticsearch and Kibana and hwether there are APIs exposed to 
consume this format from other reporting tools (or ETL engines that can 
consume it and store it on traditional relational DB).

I would appreciate any help, direction or comments to this idea.
