Hi !  
I want to know, if it's possible to make a dashboard/feature change notification functionality with Elastic Search

If someone do a modification on a specific Visualization, if there a way to know if an update has been made only , i create the .kibana index, to see what kind of data i can take to compare, i see version , but elasticsearch keep only the last update and then i cannot compare because no modification date !!!

Someone can help me on this ?

If you can upgrade to 6.x you'll see that the objects in the .kibana index now store an `updated_at` date which might help you with this. I'm not sure there's a good solution for this in 5.x without implementing some sort of custom job that looks at the .kibana index and stores the result externally.
