I am using kibana 5.4.3. I have created dashboards with time as one of the axis in many visualizations. I need the time filter for the dashboard to be useful. But when i embed the dashboard on my website, the time filter is not visible. I tried the kibana-time-plugin(github link to that plugin). I followed the steps in the readme markdown. But i am not able to use the plugin. Please help me get the plugin working on my dashboard.

I'm really after some advice here please.
I have a membership website, and I am using WordPress to manage access to my paid subscriptions.
I'm interested in Kibana in terms of its' data visualization but my question is really one of whether I'm using it for the wrong purposes?
My point is: can Kibana be embedded and made to look white-labelled?
I'm pretty sure Kibana is really meant for internal use hence my question.
Thanks!
Yes that is possible. You can create various visualizations and have them integrated into one dashboard in Kibana.
This dashboard feature has capability to share these visualizations as discussed in this LINK. As an example, the share URL comes in the below format:
<iframe src="http://abc.myserver.com:5601/app/kibana#/dashboard/a6c99100-b2b2-11e7-8aa0-9fc1ad35f7e7?embed=true&_g=()" height="600" width="800"></iframe>
You can either share the current state of the dashboard with your users, or share them the most recent view of the dashboard whenever they reload their page.
Let me know if it helps.
Let's say I'm having few Kibana dashboards created upfront, and what I need to know is that will it be possible for me to add a UI component, for example a print button within the dashboard itself, in order for the user to print the dashboard externally? Apart from the feature to export it as a PDF, which is given by Kibana implicitly.
Any help could be appreciated. :)
[Background]
I have a dashboard which logs performance of my application for
multiple versions.
[Query]
Need to load a specific visualization(say line graph) only when a
filter of 'version:1.1' is applied.
[Additional Info]
The reason behind this is when no version is selected, it loads all the samples of all the version which is messy and the data is unreadable.
I cannot add that as a filter before hand because I don't know which version the user would want to analyse.
Also, I want to avoid another hyperlink which re-directs to a new page.[If this is possible, please share as I am not sure, how would I force user to select app version before moving to that page]
P.S.: Please let me know if I am not making sense here.
We use Kibana, ElasticSearch and Logstash to monitor the health of production systems.
When fatal errors are logged, then handled by our support staff, we would like to be able to tag them as "Handled/Fixed" as well as insert a comment, within our Kibana dashboard.
This way we could set up a dashboard that displays only "Unhandled" errors that haven't been looked at by the support staff. A very basic ticket system, if you will, based on production logs.
Is there any plugin for Kibana that provides this feature?
If not, could a gentle soul provide a high-level overview of the development that would be required to write such a plugin?
I would think you could do this with a Javascript file that gets included in the Kibana dashboard.
You would write a file (let's pretend it's called support.js) and then add the to the Kibana HTML.
Then you can inspect the DOM that Kibana generates and:
Add a button where needed.
Show a modal popup when the button is clicked.
Wire up the save button to make AJAX calls to ES. (Marking a ticket as handled/fixed).
The script would introduce new fields to the documents and then it's easy to configure Kibana to filter on the fields.
That's the most orthogonal way to try and add functionality without getting into the actual Kibana code.
Kibana 4 with aggregation feature has proved very useful to me, however I need to do application-side join inorder to work with the available data.
Is there a way in kibana 4 to execute a application-side join (set of queries + code) and return a dashboard?
I read online docs of how to do this as scripted dashboard (kibana 3) http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/kibana/current/templated-and-scripted-dashboards.html however my understanding is that this is no longer supported in kibana 4.
Kibana 4 is in development (Beta 3 is comming soon). You should look at the github project and browse issues to see watch is/will be implemented in the next versions of kibana 4.
If there is no issue, you should create new one to submit the feature.

Yes you can get. but you should extract the extra fields for that. Through logstash extract the more fields using filter..
Im showing you down with custom dashboards. You need to create dashboard and add visualizations and save it.
It possible using the new version for sure.. (4.0.1) you can very easily manipulate the client side with additional json inputs, or you can create your own queries that will be rendered as a dashboards widgets.
