Yes.

These are plugin docs - [External plugin development | Kibana Guide [8.3] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/external-plugin-development.html)

These are some of the examples:

> **[List of Kibana plugins | Kibana Guide \[8.3\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/plugin-list.html)**
>
> Conceptual and step-by-step procedures for using runtime fields, scripted fields, and field formatters.

Thanks,

Thank you for the response.

Can you explain how I can add custom visualization?

The documentation have information about creating custom plugins but how can I add that plugin to the dashboard like a custom visualization?
