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 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
https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-does-kibana-generates-the-visualizations/298721/4
Goal: I want to create a dashboard which shows user requests made to my website. For this, I created a filter in my java web-app and started capturing user requests and storing them in an ES index. The document is in the form of:
{
'user': 'user1',
'url': 'domain.com/page1',
'hitcount': 12
}
So, now I have an index which contains the information as to how many times a user requested which URLs.
Now, I want to create visualizations to show usage trends per user.
Question:
Which visualizations should be used for this use-case?
If I need to show the change in user-trends over time, how should I save the data? For e.g. is there a visualization where I could show, that a user has stopped/reduced requesting a page and now accesses a different page more frequently.
Any direction will be helpful.
Note: I understand, this could be done with grafana + prometheus, but I wish to do this with elastic stack.
I’d recommend logging user requests to a log file and have filebeat read and index them into ES. It is better to send non aggregated data into ES and then let ES aggregate it to create required visualizations
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 have set-up an elasticsearch server and I am feeding data to it with logstash. My data consists of various numeric fields which are logged through time. I want to create a chart in Kibana that will display the raw data as points, and the average of my data as a line chart on top of that. Pretty much something like the picture below... (This is from Kibana's homepage)
I have a real problem displaying the raw values of my data and I cannot find a way to do it in the documentation. Has anybody else encountered the same problem? Is this doable in Kibana?
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.

In short not feasible as of [2.x] elastic search.
