Kibana y axis term

[Shauli_Zak (Shaul Zak)]

Hi, I'm a newbie to ELK so try to stay with me

I have an index with the following mapping

{
"mapping": {
"properties": {
"@timestamp": {
"type": "date"
},
"@version": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
},
"number": {
"type": "long"
},
"modifieddate": {
"type": "date"
},
"status": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
}
}
}
}
where number is between 0 to 10^8 and status is a value out of a close set like {StatusVal1,StatusVal2,StatusVal3}

let's suppose the documents (data) are like in the following table

		X axis			Y axis

date number status
5/11/2019 12 StatusVal1
12/12/2018 15 StatusVal2
3/23/2019 17 StatusVal3
2/1/2019 64 StatusVal1
3/4/2019 65 StatusVal2
12/11/2018 87 StatusVal3
7/13/2018 99 StatusVal3

and I would like to draw a chart that X axis is the number term and Y axis is just a bar (lets says with hight equals to one if exist) \ point but with a color depends on the status value.

How can I do that ?

After this I would like to have an interpolation on both axes - so if there is no value (number, status) it will get it from the closest X value exist.

Thank Shaul

@Shauli_Zak

your best bet is probably to do this with a heatmap-chart. It's the only visualization that you can map a color of a "bar" to a value. It only works with numerical values though.

• First, use a scripted-field to map your status-codes to a number ({1,2,3}). (https://www.elastic.co/blog/using-painless-kibana-scripted-fields)
• Then use the heatmap-visualization type to create the chart (https://www.elastic.co/blog/awesome-new-kibana-visualizations-heatmap-and-point-series).
  • On the X-axis, use your number field.
  • For the metric-value, use that new scripted field you created.

Note that is will not do the interpolation though.
