== Add Data Guide
|
|
|
|
`Add Data` in the Kibana Home application contains tutorials for setting up data flows in the Elastic stack.
|
|
|
|
Each tutorial contains three sets of instructions:
|
|
|
|
* `On Premise.` Set up a data flow when both Kibana and Elasticsearch are running on premise.
|
|
* `On Premise Elastic Cloud.` Set up a data flow when Kibana is running on premise and Elasticsearch is running on Elastic Cloud.
|
|
* `Elastic Cloud.` Set up a data flow when both Kibana and Elasticsearch are running on Elastic Cloud.

=== Creating a new tutorial
|
|
1. Create a new directory in the link:https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/src/core_plugins/kibana/server/tutorials[tutorials directory].
|
|
2. In the new directory, create a file called `index.js` that exports a function.
|
|
The function must return a JavaScript object that conforms to the link:https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/kibana/common/tutorials/tutorial_schema.js[tutorial schema].
|
|
3. Register the tutorial in link:https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/kibana/server/tutorials/register.js[register.js] by calling `server.registerTutorial(myFuncImportedFromIndexJs)`.
|
|
4. Add image assets to the link:https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/src/core_plugins/kibana/public/home/tutorial_resources[tutorial_resources directory].
|
|
5. Run Kibana locally to preview the tutorial.
|
|
6. Create a PR and go through the review process to get the changes approved.
