Technical view on Vega for Kibana by Mathew Thekkekara

Vega for Kibana can create customised visualisation by a simple JSON declaration. You can access to multiple sources with different queries and collect different datasets, which you want to show as you wish. Want to make it interactive, add some declarations and Voila!

We will have a look at the features which is available in Vega and a practical process for creating a Visualisation in Vega. The goal is to make it easier to get started with Vega for Kibana.

Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us! 👍🏻 I tried making a Vega chart in Kibana a while back, but did not understand how to fit the data, ie access the Elasticsearch query output in Vega. Your demonstration of the data and the mapping, as well as the Vega debug function will come in handy. Really nice demonstration of the fundamental principles and the source code is right there on the screen for anyone to use and build upon.

Great job, Nick! I'm wondering for the Third Level visual example (5:29), how to add the dynamic variables: client, check into Vega script? Do you have some sample pointers?

Hi, Can we have data and mark as arays when we use URL in data section.
Can we have multiple visualizations in a single graph, when we get data from elasticsearch.
Thanks.

Can we visualise overlaying 2-3 index in es on to one graph? Let’s say sflow index on top of threat ip found on another index or the other way round.

Do you have a github link for your demo source ?
