Remove/Hide Management Menu in Kibana - elasticsearch

I have setup Elasticsearch and Kibana 7.0.1 version. May I know how to hide or remove the Management menu from Kibana UI?

As mentioned in this other thread, you can leverage the dashboard-only mode if you want to hide everything but dashboards.
Otherwise, since Kibana 7.2, you can go to Management > Spaces and decide to hide some Management features, such as:
Advanced settings
Index patterns management
Saved objects management
Also worth noting that there's an open issue to actually hide features based on cluster privileges.

The configuration of Kibana UI is received in the response to the /{SPACE_URI}?api/core/capabilities request. You can manipulate this response by putting Kibana behind a proxy (mitmproxy is a quick/clean choice) and within the response set body['navLinks']['kibana:management'] = False. Then you won't see that management button on the sidebar anymore.

After searching forever in Kibana 7.7.1, finally found that you can define what roles to include in the "Dashboard Only" mode under Advanced Settings. Here you can define a second role to have dashboard only, AND NOT access to all spaces as the kibana_dashboard_only_user does.
Advanced Settings --> Dashboard

You can hide the management menu by clicking the Collapse button at the bottom of the menu.
Collapse UI
I'm not so sure about removing it. Probably there is a more contextually appropriate solution for your concern, such as embedding a dashboard onto your app, or restricting management permissions to a certain group of users.
dashboard-only-mode may be of interest to you, and you can move up to minor version 7.1.0 in order to make this a free feature.

What are the ways to publish apps/sheets from Qliksense?

I have Sales database which contains sales data along with manager IDs, I have created the required reports in Qliksense and want to use Qliksense reports on custom UI (on an app).Also want to apply row level security so that one manager would be able to see only his data and other data would be restricted for him.
How to publish these reports on custom UI and provide data security using Qliksense Desktop or cloud?
PS - I do not have enterprise version yet.
The easiest way would be to go the dev hub and copy the iframe / embed script from there. It is under the single configurator menu item
The standard desktop version will not allow for row level security in any way you must have a license to do that. But once licensed that security will flow naturally to the iframe / embedded object

Caching does not work for Content Search Web-Parts

Background Information
Content Search Web-Parts supports a caching feature as described here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Make-pages-load-faster-with-caching-in-the-Content-Search-Web-Part.
This should bring enhanced performance.
Problem
When configuring caching as described in the article the Content Search Web-Part does not return any results.
Steps to reproduce
Insert a Content Search Web-Part into a page
Edit the query (for testing purposes here: Recently changed items)
Under Settings activate the option caching for everyone except external users
After saving and publishing the Content Search Web-Part does not return any result. This is reproducable in multiple tenants.
Solution
If you want to enable caching for a security group, this security group requires permissions on the site collection (min. read permission).
In my case "Everyone, except external users" had no read permissions on the site collection.

How to redirect between 2 dashboards in Kibana4?

This might sound a bit confusing but here it goes.
I have a 'Default' dashboard which shows a combination of visualization and dashboards. Basically i am showing a lot of customers on a default dashboard.
The entries on this dashboard will remain same and the search will narrow down once the user clicks a particular customer on visualization {say bar-chart}.
Now I want that when user clicks on the bar chart or does a search like cust_name , it should show a another dashboard instead of the default one which i configured for "customer specific detail"
I am not sure how to do this
There is no such feature in Kibana 4.x.
You can define the dashboards you desire to be opened and add the filtering visualization from the main one.
Also you can write a simple web page to call embedded kibana dashboards with queries injected when calling the dashboards.

Add tag to document from Kibana

We use Kibana, ElasticSearch and Logstash to monitor the health of production systems.
When fatal errors are logged, then handled by our support staff, we would like to be able to tag them as "Handled/Fixed" as well as insert a comment, within our Kibana dashboard.
This way we could set up a dashboard that displays only "Unhandled" errors that haven't been looked at by the support staff. A very basic ticket system, if you will, based on production logs.
Is there any plugin for Kibana that provides this feature?
If not, could a gentle soul provide a high-level overview of the development that would be required to write such a plugin?
I would think you could do this with a Javascript file that gets included in the Kibana dashboard.
You would write a file (let's pretend it's called support.js) and then add the to the Kibana HTML.
Then you can inspect the DOM that Kibana generates and:
Add a button where needed.
Show a modal popup when the button is clicked.
Wire up the save button to make AJAX calls to ES. (Marking a ticket as handled/fixed).
The script would introduce new fields to the documents and then it's easy to configure Kibana to filter on the fields.
That's the most orthogonal way to try and add functionality without getting into the actual Kibana code.

Hide Views from View List

I have a plugin that fires on PreOperation of RetrieveMultiple and adds a query condition that the view name does not begin with HIDDEN_ . In the web client this works perfectly. In my on prem Outlook client (for my sandbox) it also works perfectly. However when I am using Outlook 2010 with an online environment it still displays the hidden view in the drop down (but not if you open an advanced find).
On top of this issue I also am unable to prefix my dashboard views with HIDDEN_. If i do then the dashboards display no information. I haven't been able to get it to work properly with the dashboard views, but I need to hide them as I have two entities that have a dozen views each that are only used for the dashboards.
In short these are the two questions:
1. How do I hide views for an online 2011 environment in the outlook client?
2. How do I hide the dashboard views and still use them for the purpose of creating dashboards?
Thanks,
Nick
Try registering your plugin on the PreValidation step.
Of course, all clients should show exact similar behaviour, so to me it seems you have found a bug.
