Canvas
"Never look back. The past is done. The future is a blank canvas." ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun
Getting Started
Canvas is included with X-Pack and requires a Basic license or better to use.
Feature Questions
Why are there no tooltips
We've opted for always available data labels instead, for now. While there exists much functionality that can be used for analytical purposes in Canvas our core concern in presentational. In a hands-off presentation format, such as a report or a slideshow, there is no facility for user to mouseover a chart to see a tooltip; data labels are a better fit for us.
Background
What is Canvas?
Canvas is a new visualization application on top of Elasticsearch data. Canvas is extremely versatile, but particularly differentiating example use cases include live infographics, presentations with live-updating charts, and highly customized reports.
Why did we build it? How does this align with the larger Kibana vision?
We realized early on that we are not trying to build one UI “to rule them all” in Kibana. Elasticsearch caters to a wide variety of use cases, users, and audiences and Kibana provides different experiences for these users to explore and interact with their data. Canvas is one of such applications, in particular catering to users looking for desktop-publishing level of control for the presentation of their data summaries.
Does Canvas replace any part of Kibana?
No, it is an alternative experience that does not conflict with other parts of Kibana.
Isn’t there overlap between Canvas and Dashboard?
While both can be used as a way to build up reports, Canvas and Dashboard have different goals. Canvas focuses on highly customizable layout more suited to highly curated presentations, while Dashboard provides a fast and efficient way to build up and manage business analytics and operational dashboards that don’t require a high degree of layout control and customizability.
Where can I see a demo of Canvas?
