It isn't always easy to find Kibana plugins, so I wanted to make a list of all of the plugins that I am aware of.
NOTE: Not all plugins will work with all versions of Kibana. The Kibana plugin interfaces are in a state of constant development. Plugin developers should release a new version of their plugin for each new Kibana release as a result.
⭐ Denotes plugins that I have personally found to be very useful.

If you are new to the Elastic Stack, this video goes beyond a simple default installation of Elasticsearch and Kibana. It discusses real-world best practices for hardware sizing and configuration, providing production-level performance and reliability.
Additionally local SSD storage should be considered as mandatory! For an in-depth look at how different storage options compare, and in particular how bad HDD-based storage is for Elasticsearch (even in multi-drive RAID0 configurations) you should watch this video...
