Hi there,

now that 7.6.0 version of Kibana is out, i would like to ask if there is also a documentation and/or example of plugin development. My main focus is on Canvas and would like to use Sankey diagramm within Canvas.  
What would be the best way to go forward?

Best regards  
Tomasz

HI  
Thanks for your interest in plugin development for Kibana. Here is a detailed tutorial for plugin development:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/plugin-development.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/plugin-development.html)

The [contributing guide](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) is a good starting point.

Here is sankey visualization guide : [https://www.elastic.co/blog/sankey-visualization-with-vega-in-kibana](https://www.elastic.co/blog/sankey-visualization-with-vega-in-kibana)

Here's a good [keynote on plugin development](https://www.elastic.co/elasticon/conf/2016/sf/how-to-build-your-own-kibana-plugins) II also found this to be useful : [this video](https://www.elastic.co/webinars/the-contributors-guide-to-the-kibana-galaxy)

If you need more info plz do let us know .

Thanks  
Rashmi
