Hello folks,

I would like to create dashboard including charts (such as pie, horizontal , vertical bar and other)  
from elastic search. I know kibana can do it. But i don't like the kibana user interface. I want to draw diagram by other tools. So i don't know how to get data /saved search/.

So how should i do. Give me some advice, guys.

Kibana retrieves a data through the [Elasticsearch Query DSL](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/query-dsl.html) searches and [aggregations](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/search-aggregations.html). Getting familiar with these would be a good starting point if you want to develop your own visualisations.

You can then use [one of the existing language clients](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html) to interact with Elasticsearch.
