Hi Team,

I have a requirement where we have stored images in hadoop and created a external table in hive for elasticsearch (We have configured the elasticsearch-hadoop jar for the hive).  
The external table for elasticsearch within hive contains the image metadata information like say image name, image url,etc.

I can view the single image using Kibana Markdown using the format  
`![image] (file//usr/share/kibana/src/ui/public/image/image.png 'My image')`  
suggested in [Load image with Markdown in Dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/load-image-with-markdown-in-dashboard/160174).

I have created a index pattern for the external table and also change the format for the image\_url column to have a Url format  
PFA Screenshot attached

Is there a way in Kibana to show all the images which are present in the external table with a column named image\_url having a link to the image url?  
If yes what configuration setup is needed?

Thanks,  
Dilip

Hey @dilipts, I'm not seeing `![image] (file//usr/share/kibana/src/ui/public/image/image.png 'My image')` displaying an image. Would you mind checking the syntax you sent?

If I understand correctly, you have images stored in Elasticsearch documents that you're wishing to display to users in things like Discover. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to do this at the moment. I'd recommend opening up a [feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) for this.
