Hi,

I create a simple plugin on kibana 6.0rc2 from webinar\_visualization.  
My problem is that I must create the same plugin but on kibana 5.6.4.

I saw that the import is changed so I create as 5.6.4 document and the visualization it look the same as I develop in 6.0.

In 6.0 I have class VisController that render and I also have in this function addEventListener('click'  
that I can able to some action when I click on the value.

My problem is that in 5.6.4 I'm not able to start VisController  
In 6.0 I just add the following:  
import { VisController } from './vis\_controller';

return VisFactory.createBaseVisualization({  
name: 'webinar\_visualization',  
title: 'Webinar Vis',  
icon: 'fa fa-gear',  
description: 'webinar\_visualization test',  
category: CATEGORY.OTHER,  
visualization: VisController,  
visConfig: {  
defaults: {  
// add default parameters  
fontSize: 20  
},  
},

I can't find how to call VisController in 5.6.4  
to create the Visualization I do the following:  
return new TemplateVisType({  
name: 'webinar\_visualization',  
title: 'Webinar Vis',  
image,  
...

But I can't found how to call and start VisController.

Please advice how can I convert webinar\_visualization from 6.0 to 5.6.4?

The plugin is simple:  
Show some key on the screen and when I press on it do some action

Thanks in advance

Sorry @wkpv68, but the visualization architecture changed a lot in 6.0 so there is no concept of `VisController` in 5.6. Is it possible to upgrade to 6.0, which was just released today?
