Hi everyone,

I want to create data directly from Kibana, by making a visualization with inputs in my dashboard where the user can create data.  
To be a little bit more precise, let me give an example. I have some information about people like name, first name and an identifier. The point is, I want that a user can create a new "people" directly from Kibana by a kind of form.

Is it possible ?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Leo

Thank you but that's not what I wanted. I already have data injected into Elasticsearch I just want to add more of them, directly from Kibana.

I see, all you can do is to use the Dev Tool

```
POST your-index/_doc
{
....
}
```
