Automating report generation by PDF or PNG?

[YuWatanabe]

Hello.

I believe automatic report generation is available in GOLD subscription .

Share & collaborate

• Embeddable dashboards
• Object export UI & APIs
• CSV exports
• PDF and PNG reports
• Saved queries

However, would there be any way to implement automatic report generation by PDF or PNG image using other than Report API ?

My goal is to export dashboard and back it up to S3.
I appreciate if I could get some help.

Thanks,
Yu Watanabe

Hey @YuWatanabe,

Is there something lacking in the APIs that make them unusable for you? For an S3 backup, you could write a small script using curl to generate the report on-the-fly, and then subsequently publish to an S3 bucket.

Or, are you asking if there is a way to generate these reports without a paid subscription? There unfortunately isn't a way to do that, but you can run Kibana and Elasticsearch on Elastic Cloud, which gives you all of these features and more, for a very reasonable starting price.

Thank for the reply.

My intention refers to your second opinion.

Thanks. Just spinned up the elastic cloud and confirmed the function.

I will see if this will be an option for us.
