I know my text in the tooltip is kind of long, but I want to see at least 40-50 characters. It would be good if the width is adjustable.

At least what you can do is that if I zoom out the page, tooltip width occupies a percentage of the page, instead of a fixed with size. I would rather zoom out and see small fonts so that I can see more characters.

The only text I see here that is cut off is the legend on the right, you can't resize that, however as another solution, in 4.5 there is the feature to label a legend value anything you want. Hope that is helpful

Peace,

I like it very much! It is really helpful. Using label legend, I save some steps of enriching the data by putting lables from logstash side then.  
When will 4.5 be released?

It shall be released very soon! We don't really like to make promises on dates as things happen. But if you like there is a branch on github you can run with ES2.3
