I started using ELK, I liked it but I have a problem. actually i used logstash to analyze my log files and kibana to visualize it as a curve (a surface curve), it was great but the problem was I want to do my work automatically, I mean I want to find a way to make the kibana curve generated automatically (via a script) without human intervention. Is this possible or I should get away from Kibana. ---

It's a little unclear what you are trying to achieve here. Can you elaborate? ---

Thanks for your quick reply. This is the curve that was generated (it counts the document in my index for each different time field) I want to do the same thing, but programmatically, I mean, can I create a script that can execute logstash and then execute a set of requests (similar to those executed by kibana) in order to generate this curve. ![93266526_660292911461433_5473588540581347328_n](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/b/0/b04f27a9296330691ca34da13937bd475c8cc30c.png) ---

Where are you intending to look at it? ---

I want it to be generated as a pdf file. if it is possible i want to know how, and what are the possible tools or languages i should use. ---

Ahh ok. Check this part of the docs out - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/reporting-getting-started.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/reporting-getting-started.html) ---

sorry but that doesn't solve my problem. the problem is that the curve must be created and generated automatically without human intervention and without using the kibana interface. ---

that's good but first i want to get the query which is responsible for the curve visualization in kibana in order to execute it outside of kibana. ---
