Hello All, I am thinking to create a image cloud (similar to tag cloud, using images instead) in Kibana. I could not find any visualization in Kibana 7.0. I am exploring markdowns to display static images for now, is there a way to connect markdown to a elasticsearch index? Let's say I have a image URL field, when added to the markdown it'll directly show images serially in markdown!  
Thanks.

It seems that Markdown supports that static URL path only. [Load image with Markdown in Dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/load-image-with-markdown-in-dashboard/160174/2)

You can use [Field formatters](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-fields.html) that support [Image type](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/field-formatters-string.html) to display your field value (on a dashboard, for example) as an image.

Hello Mikhail Sir,  
Thank you for your reply.

Can you suggest me a widget/visualization which can show images on dashboard? I tried a couple but had no luck. So, I decided to use URL type in Field formatter to show URLs in table instead. Thanks, take care.
