Is it possible to query two indexes (which both contain the same fields) and report the differences in index2 compared with index1 Indexes contain a file\_location field and I would like to be able to know which records are additions (present in index2 but not index1) and which are deletions (present in index1 but not index2). Can this be achieved within Kibana? Jimbo ---
