Hi,

I'm trying to plot results that require multiple queries to compile as a list. In one specific case, I want to measure the precision in the top k results from 1 to 10, for example.

How would one go about visualizing this Kibana. Right now, I've make several queries to ES and visualize this with PyPlot... Can Kibana read this from a REST API?

Merci!

Kibana is really only set up to do one query at a time. TSVB and Timelion allow you to get a little more power and execute multiple queries, as does Canvas (currently in tech preview), but the rest of the parts of Kibana currently can not.

Unfortunately, no, Kibana can only read data from Elasticsearch. You could index the results in ES though, then it would be available in Kibana.

Thanks for the insight 🙂 I'll try and see if that's possible with Timelion
