Hi Srinu,
Kibana is javascript search/visualisation front-end for elasticsearch
which is a distributed search engine which doesn't feature mysql
connection/integration out of the box. But, there is a plugin
[GitHub - jprante/elasticsearch-jdbc: JDBC importer for Elasticsearch](https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-river-jdbc) which you can use
to import data from mysql to elasticsearch and then use Kibana to
visualise it.
So steps would be:
1. Deploy elasticsearch
2. Install jdbc plugin with mysql driver in elasticsearch
3. Create and submit jdbc river configuration (with mysql connection
data and import query) which will import the data
4. Deploy kibana and visualise data
Hope this helps,
Tomislav
