How to add a new Kibana 5 data source besides elasticsearch?

Hi Muhammad,

I am not quite sure what kind of data source you want to Kibana to read.

Right now: Kibana can define index patterns on

  1. Indexed data in ES
  2. You can also use https://www.elastic.co/products/beats for reading machine data.
  3. or use logstash: https://www.elastic.co/products/logstash

Here is a list of Kibana plugins: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/known-plugins.html
Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Bhavya
