Simple Word Cloud from Elasticsearch

Elastic Community and Ecosystem
1

Hi all,

I have data coming in to Elasticsearch from our Helpdesk system and would like to create a couple of word clouds, one just on occurrences of terms to show most frequent incidents/applications and one on significant terms to highlight recent and increasing incidents and problems.

I've found detail on the web from Jason Davies on using d3 and have had a go at implementing a word cloud but being relatively new to Linux and not being a developer, am having trouble getting things working.

Do any of you have wordclouds working and wouldn't mind sharing code and a step-by-step guide on implementing, or could point me at a good tutorial on getting it working with Elasticsearch and publishing out with nginx or nodejs (or other recommendations)?

Thanks,

Lee

LeeSyd,

If you use Kibana 4.3 or above, you can install a word cloud plugin. The repo and instructions for installing are here.

Great plugin and does exactly what I was looking to achieve. Thank you,
