Hi,
I would like to create a "dynamic" dashboard similar to
".../kibana/src/index.html#/dashboard/script/logstash.js". By dynamic I
mean I want to generate the dashboard based on a query result. For example,
I would like to query a field and find out how many unique values are there
in that field, and then draw a time-based line for each of those unique
values on my dashboard. What's the recommended way of query ES from within
a dashboard script? Any examples?
Thanks.
Yongtao

I am actually wondering the same thing. Is there a way to query ES from
within a Kibana dashboard script in order to make decisions on how to
layout our dashboard? I tried using the Elasticsearch-js API (copy and
pasted the entire API into the dashboard script) but there's no way to use
the asynchronous ES data calls from within the synchronous dashboard
script. Any way around this?
Thanks,
Andre
