Hi  
I am wondering if it is possible to save summary of data in kibana and remove the index data.  
I mean, sometimes you don't need the original data after querying it, you have new data, storage is expensive, ...

1. Indexing the data and drawing the visualizations, screenshots, ...
2. Store the statistics in an index (for example number of clicks on a link for a week)
3. Remove the original data (just keep the statistics)
4. Index new data
5. Draw new visualizations according data of different weeks
6. Store new statistics
7. Remove the original data
8. Repeat from 4  
Thanks

Hello,  
What you detailed there is basically the Rollups feature which was introduced in version 6.5.0:
