Hello folks,

To behave the UI that I had, I would like to know whether or not there is a way to make a feature field editable on Kibana. The idea will be that people can enter new values to the feature field via Kibana. Ealsticseach is going to take the new value from the users and update the field value accordingly.

Thanks,  
Li-Yun

Hello,

Unfortunately this is not possible. Kibana can display and let you explore the data you have in elasticsearch.

You can't add crud data in Kibana.  
Hope that helps.

Thanks,

@bhavyarm I got another question for you. We want to play audio files stored in S3 bucket on Kibana. I was wondering if there is a way to be able to stream S3 audio to Kibana. Thanks.

Regard best,

Yes.

You need to use field formatters in Kibana index pattern management to be able to do this. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/field-formatters-string.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/field-formatters-string.html)

Hope that helps.
