Hi, I can create new visualization using curl command. After executing curl command to create visualization, I got this message - {"\_index":".kibana-4","\_type":"visualization","\_id":"v66","\_version":1,"created":true} which confirms that my visualization v66 is created but when i go to kibana dashboard i can not see visualization v66 or any new visualization created there. Can anyone please help me with this? ---

What does the visualization within the index now look like? Example: `http://localhost:9200/.kibana/visualization/v66?pretty=true` ---

The request i sent - curl -XPOST 'https://\<\*\*\*\*\>[amazonaws.com/.kibana-4/visualization/v66](http://amazonaws.com/.kibana-4/visualization/v66)' -d '{"\_index":".kibana-4","\_type":"visualization","\_id":"v66","\_score":1,"\_source":{"title":"v66","visState":{"type":"line","params":{"shareYAxis":true,"addTooltip":true,"addLegend":true,"defaultYExtents":false},"aggs":[{"id":"1","type":"min","schema":"metric","params":{"field":"value"}},{"id":"2","type":"date\_histogram","schema":"segment","params":{"field":"timestamp","interval":"hour","min\_doc\_count":1,"extended\_bounds":{}}},{"id":"3","type":"filters","schema":"group","params":{"filters":[{"input":{"query":{"query\_string":{"query":"\*dpd1","analyze\_wildcard":true}}}},{"input":{"query":{"query\_string":{"query":"\*cpva","analyze\_wildcard":true}}}}]}}],"listeners":{}},"description":"","savedSearchId":"v66","version":1,"kibanaSavedObjectMeta":{"searchSourceJSON":{"filter":[]}}}}' But I could not see the visualization when i do search - curl -XGET 'https://\<\*\*\*\*\>[amazonaws.com/.kibana-4/visualization/\_search](http://amazonaws.com/.kibana-4/visualization/_search)' I can see other visualization i created manually but could not see the one i created using above command ---

Hi. (I'm french so sorry for my English). When you create a vizualisation, do you use a JSon file ? Because you can import and export vizualisation ok ? If I understand, you created a vizualisation in an other Kibana, and you want to import it in an other Kibana ? If it's the case, you must to adapt the curl command with " -d @yourFileWithYourJsonVizualisation " If it's not the case, can you explain me what do you want to do exactly and let put the matter in the context please. ---

The exact scenario is - 1. I have some web page say html web page for example 2. User uses web page to provide some information for which i want to show graphs to the user 3. In background when user sends request, I will create the new visulization in kibana and provide the visulization (may be iframe) back to the html web page and will show embeded graph on that web page. So i dont know how I should create visualization runtime and show it on my html page as embeded graph. I am using Kibana 4.0.3. ---

On your POST, only send the contents of `source`. curl -XPOST 'https://\<\*\*\*\>[amazonaws.com/.kibana-4/visualization/v66](http://amazonaws.com/.kibana-4/visualization/v66)' -d '{"title":"v66","visState":{"type":"line","params":{"shareYAxis":true,"addTooltip":true,"addLegend":true,"defaultYExtents":false},"aggs":[{"id":"1","type":"min","schema":"metric","params":{"field":"value"}},{"id":"2","type":"datehistogram","schema":"segment","params":{"field":"timestamp","interval":"hour","min\_doc\_count":1,"extended\_bounds":{}}},{"id":"3","type":"filters","schema":"group","params":{"filters":[{"input":{"query":{"query\_string":{"query":"dpd1","analyze\_wildcard":true}}}},{"input":{"query":{"query\_string":{"query":"\*cpva","analyze\_wildcard":true}}}}]}}],"listeners":{}},"description":"","savedSearchId":"v66","version":1,"kibanaSavedObjectMeta":{"searchSourceJSON":{"filter":[]}}}' ---

It throws an error - `{"error":"MapperParsingException[failed to parse [visState]]; nested: ElasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[unknown property [type]]; ","status":400}` i think it is because the way the json is written . Part of the json looks like - "visState": { "type": "line", "params": { "shareYAxis": true, "addTooltip": true, "addLegend": true, "defaultYExtents": false }, "aggs": [ { "id": "1", "type": "min", "schema": "metric", "params": { "field": "value" } }, { "id": "2", "type": "date\_histogram", "schema": "segment", "params": { "field": "timestamp", "interval": "hour", "min\_doc\_count": 1, "extended\_bounds": { } } } which shows visState contains element like - "String" = \>"String" "String" = \> JSON object "string" = \> [JSON objects] but i am not sure. I also tried to convert json document as - "String" = \>"String" "String" = \> "JSON object" "string" = \> "[JSON objects]" but i got this error - {"error":"MapperParsingException[object mapping for [visualization] tried to parse field [kibanaSavedObjectMeta] as object, but got EOF, has a concrete value been provided to it?]","status":400} The entire JSON I am sending - ``` { "title": "v11", "visState": "{\"type\":\"line\",\"params\":{\"shareYAxis\":true,\"addTooltip\":true,\"addLegend\":true,\"defaultYExtents\":false},\"aggs\":[{\"id\":\"1\",\"type\":\"min\",\"schema\":\"metric\",\"params\":{\"field\":\"value\"}},{\"id\":\"2\",\"type\":\"date_histogram\",\"schema\":\"segment\",\"params\":{\"field\":\"timestamp\",\"interval\":\"hour\",\"min_doc_count\":1,\"extended_bounds\":{}}},{\"id\":\"3\",\"type\":\"filters\",\"schema\":\"group\",\"params\":{\"filters\":[{\"input\":{\"query\":{\"query_string\":{\"query\":\"*dpd1\",\"analyze_wildcard\":true}}}},{\"input\":{\"query\":{\"query_string\":{\"query\":\"*cpva\",\"analyze_wildcard\":true}}}}]}}],\"listeners\":{}}", "description": "", "savedSearchId": "v11", "version": 1, "kibanaSavedObjectMeta": "{\"searchSourceJSON\":{\"index\":\"logstash-abc-*\",\"filter\":[]}}" } ``` ---

Anyways, Finally I could run curl command with only source and again i got response as true for visulzation creation but there is no visualization in kibana or when I hit curl search query. `curl -XPOST 'https://< **** >aws.com/.kibana-4/visualization/v12' -d '{"title":"v12","visState":"{\"type\":\"line\",\"params\":{\"shareYAxis\":true,\"addTooltip\":true,\"addLegend\":true,\"defaultYExtents\":false},\"aggs\":[{\"id\":\"1\",\"type\":\"min\",\"schema\":\"metric\",\"params\":{\"field\":\"value\"}},{\"id\":\"2\",\"type\":\"date_histogram\",\"schema\":\"segment\",\"params\":{\"field\":\"timestamp\",\"interval\":\"hour\",\"min_doc_count\":1,\"extended_bounds\":{}}},{\"id\":\"3\",\"type\":\"filters\",\"schema\":\"group\",\"params\":{\"filters\":[{\"input\":{\"query\":{\"query_string\":{\"query\":\"*dpd1\",\"analyze_wildcard\":true}}}},{\"input\":{\"query\":{\"query_string\":{\"query\":\"*cpva\",\"analyze_wildcard\":true}}}}]}}],\"listeners\":{}}","description":"","savedSearchId":"v12","version":1,"kibanaSavedObjectMeta":{"searchSourceJSON":"{\"index\":\"logstash-abc-*\",\"filter\":[]}"}}'` Response - `{"_index":".kibana-4","_type":"visualization","_id":"v12","_version":1,"created":true}` ---

I think the problem is that kibana's users must have the index-pattern. So, on the elasticSearch's output of users, it must appear an index with data which permit to create vizualisation. So for users in elasticSearch : .kibana with index pattern your\_Index = with data insert And so, when users load your dashboard in a web page, he will see your vizualisation. ---
