  1. how to manage many visualization links? especially those that cross Kibana URLs, or even need to include Grafana URLs
  2. we're using a mix of Grafana for timed events and Kibana for other metrics. would you recommend using this mix of frontends, or is there a better way to do it?
  3. any way to insert a visual or data from another source (like Grafana into Kibana), or would you recommend a third page to aggregate all of this information?
  4. Is there an easy way to designate the time frame in the search in Kibana (now - 1 week, now - 12 hours , etc.)? Or other recommended way of doing this? Possibly not use the default date histogram as X axis?
  5. Any way to delete protect and index without admin access to the server? Was wondering if this would be possible with an AWS ES domain
  6. any minimal index recommendations you have for data coming in? we have a very wide mix of types of data in our indexes, wondering if there is a downside to mixing this disparate amount, quality of data
  7. any recommendations for data that is decrypted/unmasked once it makes it into ES? our Jenkins variables are exposed once they are in ES
  8. recommendations for backup strategy? right now we are syncing to both a live instances and to a json backup file using elasticdump, but wondering if you had a recommended strategy ?
  9. we can notify Slack, PagerDuty, email. any recommendations for best notification strategy, any stories on what works best for folks?
