Case analytics indices and their aliases are automatically generated when Kibana starts up. Every five minutes, the indices are updated with new data from cases in your space. Historical data about cases is not stored; it gets overwritten whenever new case data is written to the indices.

You can begin querying case analytics indices as soon as you have cases in your space. To learn more about fields in the indices, refer to
% [Case analytics indices schema](kibana://reference/case-analytics-indices-schema.md)

I can't comment on the exact line, but in line 15, there's a "[preview]" tag that doesn't do anything in these docs. Not sure if that feature is in tech preview and we want to add an applies_to tag.

Yeah, I was thinking of replacing that with the applies to tag. Just need to check with the Ux Management folks first.

Is that really the case? @adcoelho

I tested this recently in a 9.1 deployment and it still looked to be present. If you'd prefer to rephrase it or tie it in with the case analytics feature, we can def do that.

Can you elaborate on this, @tiamliu? Does this mean that the indices will store data for all cases in all spaces? Or maybe something else?
