Hi Experts, Since exporting ES data to CSV is one one the most awaited feature in kibana so, for now I am planning to use head plugin , which provides csv export feature . But i do not feel it is good option from security perspective as it is an ES plugin and API is getting exposed . So for now I am using a markdown and providing this head URL as a link. Please suggest how I can provide head link to the customer without compromising or exposing the ES API ? ---

I don't think there's a good way to accomplish what you want here without compromising on security. There is currently an [open issue on Github for exporting documents](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992), and until this is implemented, it is unfortunately an unsupported feature. ---
