Cool plugin! If you are the author, would you be willing to share your experience of building the plugin to begin with? We don't have a publicly documented plugin API or anything, so I imagine you had to figure a lot of this out from reverse engineering and such.

Agreed, there are not lots of tutorials out there explaining plugin development in Kibana. Mostly I used Timelion and Kibana source code as reference and also I kept the Kibana API dependency to minimal since it is not documented and may change anytime (and also I am new to Javascript, so had tough time in understanding the code :)).
