Hi all,  
When i try to create new visualization in Kibana,  
Lens option not showing.  
Is it only available in Elasticsearch?  
Is it not available in Opendistro for Elasticsearch (7.10.2)?  
Any way to import as plugin?

Hi @Sandeep_Raju

Lens is not available in OpenDistro

Perhaps you should consider using the official Elasticsearch distribution there are many excellent features that are free and included with the Basic / Free distribution... Including Lens which is getting more powerful with every release.
