Well I took the plunge at home and did the ELK stack upgrade. Here's my graph comparison:

Kibana 3

Kibana 4.3.1:

Both these graphs contain the same queries(kb3) or filters(kb4). I know there are github tickets open for a few items like color and other items. I appreciate all the work on Kibana 4..I like the discover and visualizations and what not. I like the highlight over the legend functionality. I'm sorry devs, but as it sits right now, the dashboard is practically worthless, to me at least. I can't even tell what data is what at a glance, which seemed to be the point of a dashboard.

Since this is home I can limp along and maybe install test builds. Thank you.
