Limitations of image in markdown widget

[Anikesh_Paul]

Hi All,

Can I include an image in the markdown for Kibana dashboard either by using private git-hub URL or by putting the image in one of the coordinator node of elastic-search?
I have already achieved getting image in markdown widget from local computer as well as by copying address from online image, the only thing I'm trying to understand is that from what all sources we can use the image.

Thank you!

Hi,

Images have to be served by a URL. Something like ![My-Image](https://example.com/image.png) . I have personally not tried it from an co ordinating node. As long as you have access to the image( png) you should be able to embed it.

There is a suggestion here that may help.

Load image with Markdown in Dashboard

file//usr/share/kibana/src/ui/public/image/image.png Unless you can open that file like that from your browser (and I would be really surprised if you could), it's not going to work. The path you put in there needs to load on its own for it to work right. src/ui/public isn't really the right place to drop files, that's where plugin code goes, and static files are not served from that path. In fact, I don't think there's any path that Kibana will serve static assets from. You'll need some oth…

Hope this helps
Thanks

I'm using Elastic 7.6 and the path(/usr/share/kibana/src/ui/public/image/) you have mentioned is not present in the given ES node. Is there any other path used in ES 7.6?

Thanks,
Anikesh
