Generate scheduled reports

Related to #1634
Considering that pdf and office report is in the roadmap, adding a scheduled report option should be great.
Frequency / time picker / dashboard to generate / export type (html | pdf | office)

With the new Version of Kibana, 4.6.0, the built-in reporting function is now avaiable.

https://www.elastic.co/blog/reporting-2-4-0-released

This come as commercial plugin for Kibana, just like Graph is doing - no money no benefit.

This is really unfortunate, because I think such an basic feature as reporting should be avaiable for everyone - it is really sad which way elastic has choosen the last years, that every bit of "comfort" or additional benefit is locked behind an very big paywall (really, who the ... is going to pay ten thousands euros just for a reporting feature?)

Make the plugins buyable each by itself - we are happy to pay for sth we get an benefit for our stack!
We are not willing to pay though for unused, expensive support.

I think this issue can be closed now?

[jmkgreen]

According to an Elastic sales rep I spoke with weeks ago, the firm did try selling individual components but found it difficult to technically support a single component when it turned out the customer's use of the remaining components in the stack required help too.

[eperry]

if that is the case that it is coming out then i agree close the case.

It is sad that all new features are being surrounded by licensing, but most of them I don't need. But it will just encourage other people to come up with competing products. I already found an alternative that is actually more robust then kibana, Apache Zepplin. I am about to start looking at it.

[german23]

@jmkgreen, from the support point of view thats seems like a valid point, thanks for sharing this.

I dont know any details, but i can imagine that most people that are using the ELK-Stack dont want or dont need any support to the software, but rather want to buy the simple license.

I am no businessman whatsoever and i think that there are a few good reasons for the current licensing model, it is just frustrating to not beeing able to get the full potential out of the indexed data without paying a huge amount of money.

@eperry thanks for pointing to Apache Zeppelin, i will for sure have a look at it

[elvarb]

There exists now a very compelling licensing model that does not include support, only community support. It is limited to companies with fewer than 50 people I think.

[eperry]

Btw how it the version number 2.4 of this new reporting plugin? If it is new should it not be 1.0? or was it part of another opensource project?

[NDevox]

@eperry. Not necessarily, versioning numbers are decided by the producer, a lot of products are released as pre 1.0 versions.

In elastic's case they try to keep all products on the same version number so you know what to versions to get with each other. Elastic is currently v 2.4 so this plugin is released as that was well.

[jmkgreen]

@elvarb I'm not seeing any such model on the https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions page?

[Funbit]

@elvarb @jmkgreen I would like to know about that "compelling licensing model" too, because every time I see "Request info" button instead of the price it usually means that the price will go higher than I (or even a company) can afford..

[elvarb]

@Funbit @jmkgreen I think you need to contact Elastic directly for more information.

[ynux]

https://www.elastic.co/blog/you_get_a_report_you_get_a_report describes how to schedule reports from watcher. Both licensed, though.

[donrudo]

I think the commercial features from Kibana should not be related with this enhancement request for the Open Source version; the community can still develop an open sourced kibana plugin to add reports support.

[eperry]

Oh that like nice, going to check it out after I finish my upgrade to 2.4.1

[Proximator]

Any update?

[epixa]

Reporting, including scheduled reports, was initially released in 4.6 as a plugin, and then it became part of X-Pack in 5.0, and since 6.3 it's been shipping as part of the default distribution in Kibana. CSV reporting is available for free, and PDF reporting requires a gold license. There are some animated gifs on https://www.elastic.co/products/stack/reporting that show it in action.

I'm going to close this out, but if anyone has any specific enhancements they'd like to see in reporting, please feel free to open an issue with details!
