We currently use Google BigQuery to store our production logs. I was wondering if it's possible to connect Kibana directly to Google BigQuery to browse and visualize logs?

Hello,

No thats not possible. You need to migrate your data into Elasticsearch first.  
However to do so we have some possibilities.
