I am now creating a custom kibana plugin.

\*\* What I want to do \*\*  
I want to submit jobs to Apache spark from using result that were queried from elasticsearch.  
Is there a way to call spark-submit from the Kibana server?  
Or is there any api's in Spark which I can call from Kibana server?

Thanks,

Hi,

At present, we have nothing built in Kibana for spark support. You have to do everything on the data ingestion side and use Kibana to look at that data. All I could find was this:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/spark.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/spark.html)

If you do something, will keep us posted? 🙂

Thanks,  
Bhavya

I did some processing using spark and then writing these transformations in elasticsearch but I want to give the user the ability to add processing from a GUI if their needs evolve knowing that users are managers and persons that doesn't know how to write a single line of code ...
