+# Indices Metadata Plugin
+
+Plugin for managing and retrieving metadata about indices in
+Kibana. This plugin collects and processes metadata from Elasticsearch indices,
+data streams, ILM policies, and index templates.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Indices Metadata plugin is owned by the Security Solution team and provides:
+
+1. **Automated metadata collection** — Runs scheduled tasks to gather indices
+   metadata
+2. **Analytics integration** — Sends telemetry events for indices statistics
+   and configurations
+3. **Data stream monitoring** — Tracks data streams and their associated
+   metadata
+
+## Features
+
+- **Index Statistics Collection**: Gathers comprehensive statistics about indices
+- **Data Stream Monitoring**: Tracks data streams and their metadata
+- **ILM Policy Tracking**: Monitors Index Lifecycle Management policies and statistics
+- **Index Template Management**: Collects information about index templates
+- **Settings Monitoring**: Retrieves and tracks index settings
+- **Task Scheduling**: Runs collection tasks every 24 hours via Task Manager
+
+## Configuration
+
+The plugin's configuration prefix is `xpack.indicesMetadata`
+
+### Plugin Configuration Options
+
+- `enabled`: Whether the plugin is enabled (default: `true`)
+- `cdn.url` — URL for artifact downloads
+- `cdn.publicKey` — Public key for artifact verification
+- `cdn.requestTimeout` — Timeout for CDN requests
+
+### Configuration Example
+
+`kibana.yml`
+
+```yaml
+xpack.indicesMetadata:
+  enabled: false
+  cdn:
+    url: 'https://artifacts.elastic.co'
+    publicKey: '...'
+    requestTimeout: 30000
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- **Required Plugins**: `taskManager`
+- **Owner**: `@elastic/security-solution`
+
+## Development
+
+This plugin is server-side only and depends on:
+
+- Task Manager for scheduled metadata collection
+- Analytics service for telemetry
+- Elasticsearch client for metadata retrieval
+
+See the [Kibana contributing
+guide](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) for
+instructions setting up your development environment.
