Hi all,  
I am trying to build a gantt chart using vega for a sequence of test ran. We have ingested all the data into a index but I am having a hard time trying to plot the gantt chart. We have the start and end times for each test. I want to plot the chart to show on the Y - test name and on the x the start and end time for each test. because this is live data i could use avg of that incoming data.

You can find some Vega guidance to build a Gantt chart type in this thread: [Gantt chart on Kibana using version 7.11](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/gantt-chart-on-kibana-using-version-7-11/265917)

Hi Marco,  
So I was using that thread to understand how to use it but I am still not able to get the data to show up from my index: My chart is completely empty.

Edit- In that thread they are using static data but I am trying to full from a Index in Elastic search

Static data was adopted only in the last part of the thread to simplify the Vega mapping process.  
In the initial template the `url` property was used: [Gantt chart on Kibana using version 7.11 - #2 by Marco\_Liberati](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/gantt-chart-on-kibana-using-version-7-11/265917/2)
