I understand data in the cold/frozen tiers are still searchable by Elasticsearch. Can Kibana visualisations visualise data that span indices across multiple tiers (e.g. warm/cold/frozen)? Is this transparent to the Kibana end-user?

Cold tiers and frozen tiers are intended for data that is accessed infrequently. Kibana visualizations can visualize the data that span across different tiers, but the results will come in slower from frozen tier data.
