console	Console provides the user with tools for storing and executing requests against Elasticsearch.
contentManagement	The content management plugin provides functionality to manage content in Kibana.
controls	The Controls plugin contains Embeddables which can be used to add user-friendly interactivity to apps.
customIntegrations	Register add-data cards
Dashboard plugin	- Registers the dashboard application. - Adds a dashboard embeddable that can be used in other applications.
data	The data plugin provides common data access services, such as search and query, for solutions and application developers.
dataViewEditor	Create data views from within Kibana apps.
dataViewFieldEditor	The reusable field editor across Kibana!
dataViewManagement	WARNING: Missing README.
dataViews	The data views API provides a consistent method of structuring and formatting documents and field lists across the various Kibana apps. It’s typically used in conjunction with <DocLink id="kibDevTutorialDataSearchAndSessions" section="high-level-search" text="SearchSource" /> for composing queries.
devTools	The ui/registry/dev_tools is removed in favor of the devTools plugin which exposes a register method in the setup contract. Registering app works mostly the same as registering apps in core.application.register. Routing will be handled by the id of the dev tool - your dev tool will be mounted when the URL matches /app/dev_tools#/<YOUR ID>. This API doesn’t support angular, for registering angular dev tools, bootstrap a local module on mount into the given HTML element.
discover	Contains the Discover application and the saved search embeddable.
embeddable	The Embeddables Plugin provides an opportunity to expose reusable interactive widgets that can be embedded outside the original plugin.
esUiShared	This plugin contains reusable code in the form of self-contained modules (or libraries). Each of these modules exports a set of functionality relevant to the domain of the module.
eventAnnotation	The Event Annotation service contains expressions for event annotations
expressionError	Expression Error plugin adds an error renderer to the expression plugin. The renderer will display the error image.
expressionGauge	WARNING: Missing README.
expressionHeatmap	WARNING: Missing README.

expressionRepeatImage	Expression Repeat Image plugin adds a repeatImage function to the expression plugin and an associated renderer. The renderer will display the given image in mutliple instances.
expressionRevealImage	Expression Reveal Image plugin adds a revealImage function to the expression plugin and an associated renderer. The renderer will display the given percentage of a given image.
`expressions` plugin	Expression pipeline is a chain of functions that pipe its output to the input of the next function. Functions can be configured using arguments provided by the user. The final output of the expression pipeline can be rendered using one of the renderers registered in `expressions` plugin. All the arguments to expression functions need to be serializable, as well as input and output. Expression functions should try to stay pure. This makes functions easy to reuse and also make it possible to serialize the whole chain as well as output at every step of execution. It is possible to add comments to expressions by starting them with a `//` sequence or by using `/` and `/` to enclose multi-line comments. Expressions power visualizations in Dashboard and Lens, as well as, every element in Canvas is backed by an expression. This plugin provides methods which will parse & execute an expression pipeline string for you, as well as a series of registries for advanced users who might want to incorporate their own functions, types, and renderers into the service for use in their own application.
expressionShape	Expression Shape plugin adds a shape function to the expression plugin and an associated renderer. The renderer will display the given shape with selected decorations.
expressionTagcloud	Expression Tagcloud plugin adds a tagcloud renderer and function to the expression plugin. The renderer will display the Wordcloud chart.

The guides help users to ingest their data and to navigate to the correct Solutions pages.
home	Moves the legacy ui/registry/feature_catalogue module for registering "features" that should be shown in the home page’s feature catalogue to a service within a "home" plugin. The feature catalogue refered to here should not be confused with the "feature" plugin for registering features used to derive UI capabilities for feature controls.

savedObjectsManagement	The savedObjectsManagement plugin manages the Saved Objects management section.
savedObjectsTaggingOss	Bridge plugin for consumption of the saved object tagging feature from oss plugins.
savedSearch	Contains the saved search saved object definition and helpers.
screenshotMode	The service exposed by this plugin informs consumers whether they should optimize for non-interactivity. In this way plugins can avoid loading unnecessary code, data or other services.
share	The share plugin contains various utilities for displaying sharing context menu, generating deep links to other apps using locators, and creating short URLs.
telemetry	Telemetry allows Kibana features to have usage tracked in the wild. The general term "telemetry" refers to multiple things:
telemetryCollectionManager	Telemetry’s collection manager to go through all the telemetry sources when fetching it before reporting.
telemetryManagementSection	This plugin adds the Advanced Settings section for the Usage and Security Data collection (aka Telemetry).
textBasedLanguages	The editor accepts the following properties:
UI Actions	UI Actions plugins provides API to manage triggers and actions. Trigger is an abstract description of user’s intent to perform an action (like user clicking on a value inside chart). It allows us to do runtime binding between code from different plugins. For, example one such trigger is when somebody applies filters on dashboard; another one is when somebody opens a Dashboard panel context menu. Actions are pieces of code that execute in response to a trigger. For example, to the dashboard filtering trigger multiple actions can be attached. Once a user filters on the dashboard all possible actions are displayed to the user in a popup menu and the user has to chose one. In general this plugin provides: - Creating custom functionality (actions). - Creating custom user interaction events (triggers). - Attaching and detaching actions to triggers. - Emitting trigger events. - Executing actions attached to a given trigger. - Exposing a context menu for the user to choose the appropriate action when there are multiple actions attached to a single trigger.
uiActionsEnhanced	Registers commercially licensed generic actions like per panel time range and contains some code that supports drilldown work.

unifiedHistogram	Unified Histogram is a UX Building Block including a layout with a resizable histogram and a main display. It manages its own state and data fetching, and can easily be dropped into pages with minimal setup.
unifiedSearch	Contains all the components of Kibana’s unified search experience. Specifically:
urlForwarding	This plugins contains helpers to redirect legacy URLs. It can be used to forward old URLs to their new counterparts.
usageCollection	The Usage Collection Service defines a set of APIs for other plugins to report the usage of their features. At the same time, it provides necessary the APIs for other services (i.e.: telemetry, monitoring, …) to consume that usage data.
visDefaultEditor	The default editor is used in most primary visualizations, e.x. Area, Data table, Pie, etc. It acts as a container for a particular visualization and options tabs. Contains the default "Data" tab in public/components/sidebar/data_tab.tsx. The plugin exposes the static DefaultEditorController class to consume.
