[Graph] Plot elastic data to Graph

[shaunmcgough]

Graph is useful to visualize information gathered by the elastic stack.

Some Graphs that we could generate at the click of a button inside Graph or inside of the area where this data is surfaced include;

• Mappings, proerties, and fields that are working off the indices that people have.
• Roles and users is one.
• Privilege / Permission mining
• Spaces and feature controls
• Annotations in ML, SIEM
• Drill downs to other places in Kibana
• Cluster state data
• Which indices are in which nodes
• Orphaned visualizations
• Pulse data (where applicable)

These scripts and options should be bundled with the Kibana download. With a script we could make a button that says generate a visualization of my mappings in Kibana and in Graph for each of these options. Time will be an interesting element, e.g. where and when did I explode these indices to include all these fields. This will be instantly useful to everybody would be a feature to run elastic search log files through a script that spots the key events; node start, node stop, node run out of memory, garbage collection happened, etc., and then throw those on a graph, and then use time.

This will save us overhead as we don't have to ship data to get useful Graphs.

Closing this because it's not planned to be resolved in the foreseeable future. It will be tracked in our Icebox and will be re-opened if our priorities change. Feel free to re-open if you think it should be melted sooner.
