== Getting Started
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== System Setup
|
|
|
|
{reporting} is automatically enabled in {kib}. The first time Kibana runs, it extracts a custom build for the Chromium web browser, which
|
|
runs on the server in headless mode to load Kibana and capture the rendered Kibana charts as images.
|
|
|
|
Chromium is an open-source project not related to Elastic, but the Chromium binary for Kibana has been custom-built by Elastic to ensure it
|
|
works with minimal setup. However, the Kibana server OS might still require additional dependencies for Chromium. See the
|
|
<<reporting-troubleshooting-system-dependencies, Reporting Troubleshooting>> section for more information about the system dependencies
|
|
for different operating systems.

|
=== Generating a Report Manually
|
|
|
|
. Open {kib} in your web browser and log in. If you are running {kib}
|
|
locally, go to `http://localhost:5601`. To access {kib} and generate
|
|
reports, you need the `kibana_user` and `reporting_user` roles. For more
|
|
information, see <<secure-reporting>>.
|
|
|
|
. Open the dashboard, visualization, or saved search you want to include
|
|
in the report.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Share* in the {kib} toolbar:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
[role="screenshot"]
|
|
image:reporting/images/share-button.png["Reporting Button",link="share-button.png"]
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
. Depending on the {kib} application, choose the appropriate options:
|
|
|
|
.. If you're on Discover:
|
|
... Select *CSV Reports*
|
|
|
|
... Click the *Generate CSV* button.
|
|
|
|
.. If you're on Visualize or Dashboard:
|
|
... Select *PDF Reports*
|
|
|
|
... Dashboard only: Choose to enable *Optimize for printing* layout mode. For an explanation of the different layout modes, see <<pdf-layout-modes, PDF Layout Modes>>.
|
|
|
|
... Click the *Generate PDF* button.
