I have the following `key_value_pairs` from Logstash made available in Kibana  
`PROD=TEST_NAME VERS=113 35=A 34=1 49=DLR TIME=20200316-21:31:43.464`

My use of Kibana with the log ingested, is to create a data table without any aggregation wherein **key** in `key_value_pairs` corresponding to columns and the **values** representing cell values.  
for e.g. PROD, VERS, 35, 49, TIME are the columns that I need to add in the "Discover" tab.

Is it possible to add specific keys from key\_value\_pairs as a "Selected Field"?  
Or do I have to write a plugin to process they key\_value\_pairs as a visualization plugin?

Hey @salunkerahul,

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you're looking for a pivot table. Kibana doesn't have built-in support for these yet, but there is an open issue where we're tracking this: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5049](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5049)

This link also references a couple of community plugins which attempt to offer this functionality, but I haven't personally looked into them
