I want to create the charts/bar graphs/ pie plots similar to one which is created by kibana (in dashboard).
By using chart.js / elastic-charts on frontend and the data present in my elastic search instance.
how can I do that ?
here is the discussion on the similar topic by one of team-members from elastic

I am new for developing the ELK. So, I have an idea to do with the Elasticsearch data with some dashboard design using Kibana. I have tried we are able to create dashboards like pie, graph etc. However, they are all based on the count and average related. So, I want data like table with whole data. But, a way of the form the query based on that it will generate table. I would like to know whether it is possible in Kibana?
I would like to know how kibana dashboard can be made dynamic? I mean , each time data is posted into the es, i want the visualisation charts in kibana to reflect the new data.
I am trying to visualize time series data stored in elastic search using grafana.
I have the legend setup to show 2 decimal places but it does not reflect in the UI.
The decimal places show up for other dashboard panels with a tsdb datasource. So this issue is specific to using grafana with elasticsearch. Is there any other configuration setup I am missing here which will help me achieve this?
Just found out that elastic search does not allow displaying values without some sort of aggregation and in my case aggregation is resulting in values getting rounded.
There was a related request which seemed to not get much traction in kibana.
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/3572
In short not feasible as of [2.x] elastic search.
I want to automate the creation of a set visualizations for new kibana/elasticsearch installations.
So I need to know if I can automate this, independent the programming language.
There are no APIs yet in Kibana to manage the searches, visualizations and dashboards. Some feature requests have been suggested (here and here) but they are still being discussed.
However, since Kibana visualizations are stored in the .kibana index with the visualization mapping type, you can definitely GET them, learn how they are built, modify them and PUT them again.
For a visualization named "Top consumers by country", you can get the visualization spec using
curl -XGET http://localhost:9200/.kibana/visualization/Top-consumers-by-country
You'll get a document containing the title of your visualization, another field called visState containing the specification of your visualization (obvisouly different for each visualization) and finally a field named kibanaSavedObjectMeta which contains the Elasticsearch query and index details.
You can also view/edit/export the same data in Settings > Objects > Visualizations
How do i plot in kibana the data that is returned from an aggregate query in elastic search.
I have tried the existing methods but could not achieve this.
Kibana does not currently have a way to display output of an aggregate request according to the bug tracker on github. It looks like maybe it's coming in 4.0.
