Hi, I am trying to install Sankey visualization plugin in kibana. following the instructions mentioned here > **[GitHub - uniberg/kbn\_sankey\_vis: Sankey diagram for Kibana visualize.](https://github.com/uniberg/kbn_sankey_vis)** > > Sankey diagram for Kibana visualize. Contribute to uniberg/kbn\_sankey\_vis development by creating an account on GitHub. When i run the ```auto yarn start ``` i am getting the following error ```auto yarn run v1.22.19 $ cd ../.. && node scripts/kibana --dev --oss internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module '/etc/kibana/scripts/kibana' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:636:15) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:562:25) at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:831:12) at startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:283:19) at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:623:3) error Command failed with exit code 1. info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command. ``` I am using kibana 8.7.0. And i have created a plugin folder in /etc/kibana and then started following the steps mentioned in the link. So basically sankey code is in this path /etc/kibana/plugin/sankey\_vis ---

Hi @Neelam_Zanvar, Looking at the [plugin readme](https://github.com/uniberg/kbn_sankey_vis) it states this is compatible with 8.3.x, so it's possible the plugin has broken in later versions. This is a community plugin so it's not something we look after. Have you considered raising an issue or contributing a fix to the project? ---

Oh, In that case any other visualization that i can use to track my user journey? i have four fields in the elasticsearch document token, ip, timestamp and url. for every ip and token combination i want a graph to visualize the url visited along with timestamp. Have you considered raising an issue or contributing a fix to the project? No i haven't ---

So you could use Vega to build a Sankey chart. I would recommend having a look at the [Kibana Vega tutorials](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/vega.html) and this slightly dated [blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/sankey-visualization-with-vega-in-kibana) to get started. Sankey's are great for showing flow, but if you are thinking of alternatives you could look at other options such as Chord (sometime called Edge diagrams), directed force graphs or even an Arc diagram. There are a few of these in the [Vega examples repo](https://vega.github.io/vega/examples/) that you could try out. ---

Hi @Neelam_Zanvar , I'm the developer of the plugin and today I've managed to publish a new version that should work with both versions 8.7.0 and 8.8.2 . PS: As it's an external plugin, it will be helpful to raise further issues regarding the plugin in Github so I can get a notification when a problem shows up. Thanks! ---
