Hi @Chinmay_Bhusate

you can use either Lens editor or the old Agg-based editor to create a heatmap.

From a dashboard, when creating a new visualization, selecting `Create visualization` it leads to Lens, where it is possible to find the `Heatmap` visualization type:

Instead, if you prefer to use the legacy Aggregation based editor, in a dashboard it is possible to select directly `Heatmap`:
