If you have lots of indexes the indexes and shards graph is very slow and hard to read

This graph: unreadable_unfiltered

Doesn't work out too well with so many indexes. Its hard to read and doesn't allow you to select indexes because everything is too small. Maybe switch it to a bar chart of counts of indexes with certain sizes and let clicking drill in? I dunno, but I can't get much out of that graph above without filtering.

Filtered the graph becomes great: filtered_scroll_in_scroll

but I still can't figure out what the entries in the scroll bars are supposed to be.

Interesting, so for the scrollbar issue, what browser are you using and for the numerous indices issue can you elaborate on what you mean by bar chart counts? (Do you mean to add some sort of auto grouping based on something?)

Index size seems like a reasonably grouping. Really its just an idea to keep from having a graph with so many points that you can't read it.

Maybe just separate into separate deleted percentage into a separate graph? Or maybe just a color change can make deleted docs not hide the index sizes.

Personally I like the alphabetical sorting of the graph, though I can see use for optionally sorting by index size. Maybe when no indices are selected they should all be listed below the chart and each column could be sortable.

Maybe alphabetical sorting instead of size sorting. I guess my big complaint is that the top picture is undecypherable because it is trying to display too many data points. If, at a certain number of indexes, you group them by something then display a media delete % that'd make it really more usable. I'm indifferent to the aggregation criteria though.
