Some of the unique features in Kibana 4 are as follows:
Kibana 4 makes extensive use of Elasticsearch aggregations and sub aggregations to provide more than one aggregation for visualizations. There are mainly two types of aggregations—Bucketing and Metrics. Bucketing produces a list of buckets, each one with a set of documents belonging to it, for example, terms, range, histograms, and so on. Metrics calculate the compute metrics for a set of documents, for example, min, max, sum, average, and so on. These types of computations can only be done on numeric type of fields.
