Is it possible for kibana to visualize all data?  
if i have:  
"durations": [  
{  
"Patching": 4  
},  
{  
"Extracting": 0  
},  
{  
"Building": 5  
},  
{  
"Configuring": 6  
},  
{  
"Installing to host directory": 1  
},  
}

Can I somehow ask kibana to visualize all duration fields?

No, it's generally not supported in Kibana to aggregate on any kind of array of objects like this: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/nested-objects.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/nested-objects.html)

You can see these as individual documents in Discover, or you could use a scripted field to convert this array into a structure that Kibana can use.

I don't really understand scripting or how it would help here. I was wondering if there were any good resources for this?

Kibana will work best if you flatten your structure. You can do this during ingestion of data, using [data transformation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/transforms.html) or by using a scripted field to do a runtime transformation. You can see some examples of scripted fields here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-walkthrough.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/painless/current/painless-walkthrough.html)
