Hi,

Is there any way to visualize index sizes without using [mapper size plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/mapper-size.html) or any other plugin?

need to visualize index names - storage occupied ?

without custom scripts, is there any way to feed cat/ API data to visualization?
