Hi everyone, I was wondering: is there a way to connect automatically a local excel sheet directly to Kibana? To illustrate, each time that I will modify a sheet, there is an update on all the visualisations that use the index linked to the sheet (without the need to import manually each time the updated files into Kibana). Thank you in advance for your help. ---

There is not currently an out-of-box way of doing this. Kibana only connects to Elasticsearch. If you have a way of having your updates to the Excel sheet persisted to Elasticsearch you could make it work that way. ---
