Is it possible to setup Kibana to display data from remote Elasticsearch clusters?

Hi there Garry!

Yes it is possible. We have a feature in Elasticsearch called Cross-Cluster Search that can be leveraged from within Kibana by setting up index pattern(s) that use the remote cluster prefix.

You can read more about this feature in the Elasticsearch documentation: [Search across clusters | Elasticsearch Reference [7.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.11/modules-cross-cluster-search.html)

You can also configure these remote clusters from the Stack Management \> Remote Clusters interface. There's also a related feature called Cross-Cluster Replication that allows you to replicate the data from a remote cluster to your local cluster.
