I've tried a couple SaaS ELK providers and they seem to have a button under the facets in the discovery view to quickly create a visualization on that facet. Is that something they've added or part of Kibana? Similarly creating indexes for unindexed data. Is that something that can be added with a plugin of some sort?

The first thing sounds like a plugin of some sort. As for

not sure what you mean by that. Can you explain a bit more what you're looking for? Are you talking about CSV or something similar? If that is the case, the feature used to be in Kibana and has been removed (although there is discussion of resurrecting it).
