A Kibana _dashboard_ displays a collection of visualizations, searches, and {kibana-ref}/maps.html[maps].
|
|
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.
|
|

=== [xpack]#Read only access#
|
|
When you have insufficient privileges to create or save dashboards, the following
|
|
indicator in Kibana will be displayed. The buttons to create new dashboards or edit
|
|
existing dashboard won't be visible. For more information on granting access to
|
|
Kibana see <<xpack-security-authorization>>.

|
|
== 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}.
