A Kibana _dashboard_ displays a collection of visualizations and searches.
|
|
|
|
You can arrange, resize, and edit the dashboard content and then save the dashboard
|
|
|
|
so you can share it.

Many visualizations allow you to inspect the data and requests behind the
|
|
|
|
visualization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the dashboard, expand the visualization's panel menu (or gear menu if in
|
|
|
|
*Edit* mode) and select *Inspect*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The initial view shows the underlying data for the visualization. To view the
|
|
|
|
requests that were made for the visualization, choose *Requests* from the *View*
|
|
|
|
menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The views you'll see depend on the element that you inspect.

You can either share a direct link to a Kibana dashboard,
|
2016-10-25 23:41:00 +02:00
|
|
|
or embed the dashboard in a web page. Users must have Kibana access
|
2018-05-22 01:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
to view an embedded dashboard.

. Open the dashboard you want to share.
|
2018-05-22 01:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
. In the menu bar, click *Share*.
|
|
|

. Copy the link you want to share or the iframe you want to embed. You can
|
|
|
|
share the live dashboard or a static snapshot of the current point in time.

TIP: You can create a link to a dashboard by title by doing this: +
|
|
|
|
`${domain}/${basepath?}/app/kibana#/dashboards?title=${yourdashboardtitle}`
|
2015-05-22 02:50:16 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2018-05-22 01:48:22 +02:00
|
|
|
TIP: When sharing a link to a dashboard snapshot, use the *Short URL*. Snapshot
|
|
|
|
URLs are long and can be problematic for Internet Explorer and other
|
2018-08-13 18:06:25 +02:00
|
|
|
tools. To create a short URL, you must have write access to {kib}.
