Hello, I want to know if it is possible to create a visualisation in kibana with a custom icon. For exemple, i have a field X and i want to put an icon depending on the value of the field in data table. Is that possible with kibana ? Thank you ---

You can take a look at field formatters: [Manage index pattern data fields | Kibana Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-index-patterns.html#string-field-formatters) They allow you to use the value of a field as a dynamic part of a URL which will load as an image. For your field, configure the image formatter to load the right icon based on the value (you have to put them onto a reachable web server, Kibana isn't able to serve the icon itself) ---

Hello flash1293, Thanks for your answer. i tried to put the icon in a local directory "/src/legacy/ui/public/field\_editor/components/field\_format\_editor/editors/url/icons" the same directory where kibana put the sample icons. But i am having an issue, i tried with the value of the filed is "go" got the default icon of kibana, but when the value is green for example ( i added green.png) can't see the icon. I cheked the rights on the icon, the size and dimension. looks fine ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/5/05ae1524269711894550004773892f31e0b0c7fe.png) Do you have any idea ? Thank you ---

I already answered this part here: > [@flash1293](#): > > you have to put them onto a reachable web server, Kibana isn't able to serve the icon itself Kibana is not a webserver, and any way using it like one isn't supported and might break without notice at any point. It's much more robust to store these icons somewhere else (e.g. a wiki or another kind of filehost) ---
