Kibana - Snapshot API for Graphs

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi,

Is there an API available to retrieve a bitmap image for a kibana graph (given the appropriate payload for generating the graph) ?

If not, are there plans to build such an API?

We are looking for something similar to this:

Thanks

The best you could do right now is use the Reporting plugin to generate a PNG from an existing saved object. This doc describes how to do that from Watcher but you can hit the same URLs from any third party app.

If you need a different image filetype or the ability to generate reports from visualizations that aren't already saved, I'd recommend filing an enhancement request on our Github repo.
