Canvas: Cumulative sum of counts

[superfly86]

Kibana novice here...

I'm using ElasticseachSQL queries to populate elements in Canvas.

I'd like to find a way of creating a Line chart to display a DAILY cumulative count of row entries for a given month.

To get the entries i do the following:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS entries, DAY_OF_MONTH(entry_date) AS day FROM data_table WHERE MONTH_OF_YEAR(entry_date) = MONTH_OF_YEAR(NOW()) AND YEAR(entry_date) = YEAR(NOW()) GROUP BY day ORDER BY day

This gives me this lovely table:

day | entries
------+------------
1 |464
2 |180
3 |179
4 |378

Now i want another column where it keeps track of the cumulative count:

day | entries | cumulative count
------+-------------+--------------------------
1 |464 | 464
2 |180 | 644
3 |179 | 823
4 |378 | 1,201

how do i do this?

Most answers elsewhere mention windowing, but this doesn't seem supported in ESSQL.

Here's hoping...

not in Canvas, but in the regular Visualizations of Kibana you can do this with the cumulative sum pipeline aggregation

you could create a regular Dashboard iso a Canvas workpad with this table.

Yes, exactly, i have been able to produce the exact chart i need in Visualisations, however i'd like it part of a Canvas alongside other metrics (for display purposes)

you could create a regular Dashboard iso a Canvas workpad with this table.

Could you clarify - can i create a visualisation and copy it across to Canvas?

no, you cannot add visualizations from the Kibana Visualize app to a Canvas workpad now.

I meant that perhaps a dashboard with that visualization would work for your purposes as well. Although I do understand that Canvas has more styling options for look&feel.
