Can we have a central kibana without elasticsearch?

In GCP kubernetes I have 2 clusters of different region, in both I have deployed Elasticsearch,Kibana operator & logs pushed by filebeat runs in a container along with application container in same pod.

I have plan to deploy ElasticSearch, Kibana operator in every cluster, thus looking for feasibility to have a centralized kibana without an Elasticsearch for that centralized kibana as I dont want to spend money buying storage for centralized elasticsearch to store all other region cluster's logs.

Expectation: will have a centralized kibana and I will configure other kibana's IP & password in it and my query should go over the cluster's kibana fetch/return data to central kibana.

Is it possible? any alternates suggestions please..

Kibana needs elastic search for storing configuration data. So you may add one small elastic node with centralized Kibana.

Then connect to external elastic search servers. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/working-remote-clusters.html
