Hello all,
We would like to develop an app (like timelion) and host in them visualizations, part of them plugin vis that we developed.
How can I do this? Some recommendations?

Some thoughts?
Hi Ariel,
Sounds cool! Unfortunately, we don't officially support plugin development -- it's been largely community-directed so far. So just a warning that the help I can offer will be limited.
Have you taken a look at how the Timelion vis is exposed to the Visualize app? https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/core_plugins/timelion/public/vis/index.js
Have you read through our plugin dev documentation? https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/plugin-development.html
Thanks,
CJ
Thanks,
We already developed some plugin visualizations . Now we are being requested to host this visualization in an app plugin instead of re-writing it. This is what I am looking for.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "host in an app plugin". Do you already have a functioning Kibana visualization plugin? Can you described in more detail what you're trying to do with it?
Thanks,
CJ
Hi CJ.
Simple plugin that presents aggregations in a tree manner, using a D3 indented tree.
Working fine as a visualization using defined buckets and aggregations.
Now, I have a requirement to create the same requirement but as an app (to be available in the left context menu next to Discover/Dashboards/Timelion/etc.).
I do not want to re-write the view but reuse the visualization, similar as done in a Dashboard (exposing a Dashboard as an app can do the job, but how I do that).
Thanks, hope it is clear
Hi Ariel, yes that makes things clearer for me! Thanks for explaining. You can take a look at our Timelion app as a reference for how to register an app in the sidebar and register a visualization, both from the same plugin: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/src/core_plugins/timelion

Thanks CJ!
I will look at it.
