Kibana Dendrogram Visualization to show ... dendrograms :) - Plugin
This is a new custom visualization (for Kibana version 4.5.1) that allows displaying a dendrogram chart to show and index or classes, or some other hierarchical structure.
If you really liked this and feel like making a donation :
If you need a modified version, or one that works on a previous (or future) Kibana release, please let me know.
Example of how it looks:
Installation Steps
You can just copy the dendrogram_vis folder into KIBANA_HOME/src/plugins) and run kibana (with --dev parameter).
You will have to re-bundle, if you just start the service or run in non-dev mode.
How does it work
In order to work this plugins needs a simple Schema configuration:
- One Metric Parameter (whatever, really optional)
- One aggregation (bucket) to take the structure from.
(See flare.csv as an example)
In this project there is a folder (dendrogram_data) with a script in python to get a CSV into the elasticsearch server.
(The python script requires elasticsearch and csv packages).
The index on the elasticsearch should have a field called "id", that contains (for instance):
parent
parent.child1
parent.child2
parent.child1.child1
...
and so on.
Notes on D3 (Specially for versions 5.x and 6.x)
To make it work you have to have the latest D3 distribution (Which up to today is #4).
The problem is that Kibana 5.5 comes with version 3, so you have to:
(whils on the dendrogram_vis folder)
npm install d3 d3-tree
You MAY encounter an issue with xmlhttprequest (not finding a module called child_process), which I have fixed by adding:
"browser" : {
"child_process" : false
}
To the xmlhttprequest package.json file (that got installed by npm on the node_modules folder).
As long as you don't actually USE xmlhttprequest, from the visualization, it should be ok.
Future changes
- Add filtering from the nodes (clicking a node adds/remove filters)
- Zooming and Panning
- Colors (or icons) change based on data
