Missing the link between the power of elasticsearch and using in kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana

I feel I'm missing the link between the power of searching in elasticsearch DSL and then kibana, specifically I have a document structure which is using nested levels and I can do some queries using DSL happily but I'm not sure how best to use them in their raw JSON form.

I understand that kibana can't use nested or parent child documents like elasticsearch can - so how are people using these queries, are they just getting the json and using in some other tool? If so what sort of tools are they using?

It seem that kibana works best with a denomalized flat document, should I be pushing my nested search results into some other index for kibana to use?

Sorry - just feeling a bit lost on how to harness the power of Elk.

Thanks in advance!

Yes. flattening your document structure would make the data useable in Kibana
