Hey there!  
I'm new to creating dashboards in Kibana, and I'm looking for a good way to learn. I'd like to create a dashboard that would have some similar features to APM, such as:

- Being able to filter the time series directly in one of the graphs
- Being able to click a link to access another visualization (e.g. in APM, we first see the available services, and when we click on a service, we see the transactions associated to that service, and if we click in a transaction, we then see information specific to that transaction in particular)
- Being able to customize the way the data is presented (e.g. seeing "exception backtrace" and "metadata" as tabs)

I could only find basic tutorials about creating dashboards, that don't really go into these issues. Would it be possible to create such a dashboard? Are there any more advanced tutorial I'm missing that would go through how to create a dashboard like this? Could you point to me where in the APM/Kibana source code the Kibana side of APM lies, so I could use that as a base to create my own?

Any information you have would be very much appreciated!  
Thank you very much!  
Caue

First place I'd suggest to go to is this:

There are tons of webinars on all portions of the stack, I found 2 about APM in a quick search:

> **[Using the Elastic Stack for Application Performance Management](https://www.elastic.co/webinars/using-the-elastic-stack-for-application-performance-management)**

> This webinar will discuss how APM fits into the Elastic Stack as well as how it assists IT organizations and their need to make insightful decisions. By the conclusion of this webinar we will have demonstrated:

> How easy it is to setup APM server...
