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.

== Building a Dashboard
|
|
|
|
If you haven't yet indexed data into {es} or created an index pattern,
|
|
you'll be prompted to do so as you follow the steps for creating a dashboard.
|
|
Or, you can use one of the prebuilt sample data sets, available from the
|
|
Kibana home page.
|
|
|
|
. In the side navigation, click *Dashboard*.
|
|
. Click *Create new dashboard.*
|
|
. Click *Add*.
|
|
|
|
[[adding-visualizations-to-a-dashboard]]
|
|
. Use *Add Panels* to add visualizations and saved searches to the dashboard.
|
|
If you have a large number of visualizations, you can filter the lists.

|
|
|
|
[[saving-dashboards]]
|
|
. When you're finished adding and arranging the panels,
|
|
go to the menu bar and click *Save*.
|
|
|
|
. In *Save Dashboard*, enter a dashboard title and optionally a description.
|
|
|
|
. To store the time period specified in the time filter, enable *Store time
|
|
with dashboard*.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Save*.
|
|
|
|
[[loading-a-saved-dashboard]]
|
|
To import, export, and delete dashboards, see <<managing-saved-objects>>.

=== Changing the Color Theme ===
|
|
|
|
By default, Kibana dashboards use the light color theme. To use the dark color theme:
|
|
|
|
. Go to the menu bar and click *Edit*.
|
|
. Click *Options* in the menu bar.
|
|
. Select *Use dark theme*.
|
|
|
|
To set the dark theme as the default, go to *Management > Advanced Settings*.
|
|
Scroll down to *Dashboard* and toggle *Dark Theme* to *On*.
|
|
|
|
[[customizing-your-dashboard]]
|
|
== Arranging Dashboard Elements
|
|
|
|
The visualizations and searches in a dashboard are stored in panels that you can move,
|
|
resize, edit, and delete. To start editing, click *Edit* in the menu bar.
|
|
|
|
[[moving-containers]]
|
|
* To move a panel, click and hold the panel header and drag to the new location.
|
|
|
|
[[resizing-containers]]
|
|
* To resize a panel, click the resize control on the lower right and drag
|
|
to the new dimensions.
|
|
|
|
[[removing-containers]]
|
|
Additional commands for managing the panel and its contents
|
|
are in the gear menu in the upper right.

|
|
NOTE: Deleting a panel from a
|
|
dashboard does *not* delete the saved visualization or search.

|
|
|
[[viewing-detailed-information]]
|
|
== Inspecting a Visualization from the Dashboard
|
|
|
|
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.

[[sharing-dashboards]]
|
|
== Sharing a Dashboard
|
|
|
|
You can either share a direct link to a Kibana dashboard,
|
|
or embed the dashboard in a web page. Users must have Kibana access
|
|
to view an embedded dashboard.
|
|
|
|
[[embedding-dashboards]]
|
|
|
|
. Open the dashboard you want to share.
|
|
. 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}`
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
tools. To create a short URL, you must have write access to {kib}.
