Kibana configuration to automatically add visualization and add it into the dashboard for a microservice

thujitha_p · February 11, 2022, 4:03am

Hi there,

I'm using kibana version 7.17.0.

I have created couple of microservices and set up them to send logs to kibana using logstash and Elasticsearch. Then I have created visualization for each microservice to view ratio of success, error requests. I have done it manually for each microservice and added them to dashboard.

Think, now I'm creating a new microservice and add to kibana. I want to see the ratio of success, error ratio in the dashboard.

Do I need to do this manually, or is there any way to do it automatically or with some configs when I create a new microservice?

Thank you.

Though I have not used, Kibana has Create saved objects API and the document warns:

When you create saved objects, attributes are not validated, which allows you to pass arbitrary and ill-formed data into the API that can break Kibana. Make sure any data that you send to the API is properly formed.

@Tomo_M

Is kibana support to automatically create visualizations and add to dashboard with some configs?
Think I want to add multiple microservices.

I can only give you a rough idea, what you want to do looks well achieved by Observability app.

Thanks @Tomo_M , I will check these links.

Or if you accept visualization of other way, Bar vertical percentage visualization could be a good work around.

I think, it seems to be work. We can add each microservice in horizontal axis, and success, error percentage of each microservice in the vertical axis. Right?

Tomo_M · February 11, 2022, 4:45am

I think so. If there is some trouble, you may ask again.

Thanks @Tomo_M , Let me try it and will tell.

I got the Bar vertical percentage visualization. This one is ok for now.

Do you have any ideas to change each bar to separate pie?. That is what I exactly need.

Tomo_M · February 11, 2022, 6:13am

I suppose there's no out of the box function to show multiple pie chart.
