The stats endpoint is actually managed by Elasticsearch rather than Kibana. You can read more about the [Stats API in the Elasticsearch documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-stats.html). If you have any more specific questions, let me know and I can help you find answers! ---
