== Create panels with editors
|
|
|
|
{kib} provides several editors that you can use to create dashboard panels.
|
|
|
|
[cols="2"]
|
|
|===
|
|
|
|
| <<lens,*Lens*>>
|
|
| Create visualizations with the drag and drop editor. *Lens* is recommended for most users.
|
|
|
|
| <<maps,*Maps*>>
|
|
| Create visualizations with your geographical data.
|
|
|
|
| <<tsvb,*TSVB*>>
|
|
| Create visualizations with your time series data.
|
|
|
|
| <<vega,*Vega*>>
|
|
| Create custom visualizations with the *Vega* and *Vega-Lite* grammars.
|
|
|
|
| <<add-aggregation-based-visualization-panels,*Aggregation based*>>
|
|
| Build most visualization types using {es} <<aggregation-reference,aggregations>>.
|
|
|
|
| <<timelion,*Timelion*>>
|
|
| Create visualizations with your time series data using a simple expression language.

[[lens-editor]]
|
|
=== Lens
|
|
|
|
*Lens* is the drag and drop editor that creates visualizations of your data.
|
|
|
|
With *Lens*, you can:
|
|
|
|
* Use the automatically generated suggestions to change the visualization type.
|
|
* Create visualizations with multiple layers and indices.
|
|
* Change the aggregation and labels to customize the data.

[[tsvb-editor]]
|
|
=== TSVB
|
|
|
|
*TSVB* is a time series data visualization editor that allows you to use the full power of the {es} aggregation framework.
|
|
|
|
With *TSVB*, you can:
|
|
|
|
* Combine an infinite number of <<aggregation-reference,aggregations>> to display your data.
|
|
* Annotate time series data with timestamped events from an {es} index.
|
|
* View the data in several types of visualizations, including charts, data tables, and markdown panels.
|
|
* Display multiple <<index-patterns, index patterns>> in each visualization.
|
|
* Customize the data with labels and colors.

[[custom-visualizations]]
|
|
=== Custom visualizations
|
|
|
|
*Vega* and *Vega-Lite* are visualization grammars that are integrated into {kib} for custom visualizations.
|
|
|
|
* *Vega-Lite* — A high-level grammar for rapid analysis.
|
|
|
|
* *Vega* — A declarative language with support for interactivity.
|
|
|
|
*Vega* and *Vega-Lite* panels can display one or more data sources, including {es}, Elastic Map Service,
|
|
URL, or static data, and support <<reference-for-kibana-extensions,{kib} extensions>> that allow you to embed the panels on your dashboard and add interactive tools.
|
|
|
|
Use *Vega* or *Vega-Lite* when you want to create visualizations with:
|
|
|
|
* Aggregations that use `nested` or `parent/child` mapping
|
|
* Aggregations without an index pattern
|
|
* Queries that use custom time filters
|
|
* Complex calculations
|
|
* Extracted data from _source instead of aggregations
|
|
* Scatter charts, sankey charts, and custom maps
|
|
* An unsupported visual theme
|
|
|
|
These grammars have some limitations: they do not support tables, and can't run queries conditionally.

[[aggregation-based]]
|
|
=== Aggregation-based
|
|
|
|
With aggregation-based visualizations, you can:
|
|
|
|
* Create heat map, tag cloud, gauge, and goal visualizations
|
|
* Split charts up to three aggregation levels, which is more than *Lens* and *TSVB*
|
|
* Time series data is not required
|
|
* Use a <<save-open-search,saved search>> as an input
|
|
* Sort data tables and use the summary row and percentage column features
|
|
* Assign colors to series
|
|
* Extend features with plugins
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
Aggregation-based visualizations include the following limitations:
|
|
|
|
* Limited styling options
|
|
* Math is unsupported
|
|
* Multiple indices is unsupported
|
|
|
|

|
[[timelion-editor]]
|
|
=== Timelion
|
|
|
|
*Timelion* is driven by a simple expression language that you use to:
|
|
|
|
* Retrieve time series data from one or more indices
|
|
* Perform math across two or more time series
|
|
* Visualize the results
