Kibana table from data by hitting a custom endpoint(REST)

[Arka_Dutta]

I am new to ELK stack . I would like to know whether it is possible to create a table view in kibana whose data comes from an external UI (data is not in ES) , it has to be real time. Do I need to write a plugin for that.

Can I have some pointers if its possbile at all.
More Info :
I am building a common UI for all charts and plots for my company , some of the data I can ingest into ES using logstash but some need to show the exact current state of our system real time. Want to use ELK for all these and want to have a common UI, kibana based for all these functionalities .

I have exposed rest apis to get the real time snapshot of our system now want to build a view on Kibana to display that . Is it possible via plugin or other ways, kindly guide.

FYI we’ve renamed ELK to the Elastic Stack, otherwise Beats feels left out

Yes.
Timelion does this, so you could look at that code for ideas.
