Hi,

Im using Kibana 7.1.1, and I want to capture pdf or png of Kibana dashboard.  
Tried below code, but it is capturing blank page.

======Code starts ======  
var page = require('webpage').create(),  
system = require('system'),  
address, output, size;  
//How to to wait for kibana to load and the data from elasticseatch in milliseconds.  
var waitTime = 10 \* 1000;

if (system.args.length \< 3 || system.args.length \> 5) {  
console.log('Usage: rasterize.js URL filename [paperwidth _paperheight|paperformat] [zoom]');  
console.log(' paper (pdf output) examples: "5in_ 7.5in", "10cm _20cm", "A4", "Letter"');  
phantom.exit(1);  
} else {  
address = system.args[1];  
output = system.args[2];  
page.viewportSize = { width: 1024, height: 1024 };  
if (system.args.length \> 3 && system.args[2].substr(-4) === ".pdf") {  
size = system.args[3].split('_ ');  
page.paperSize = size.length === 2 ? { width: size[0], height: size[1], margin: '0px' }  
: { format: system.args[3], orientation: 'portrait', margin: '1cm' };  
}  
if (system.args.length \> 4) {  
page.zoomFactor = system.args[4];  
}  
page.open(address, function (status) {  
if (status !== 'success') {  
console.log('Unable to load the address!');  
phantom.exit();  
} else {  
window.setTimeout(function () {  
page.render(output);  
phantom.exit();  
}, waitTime);  
}  
});  
}  
======Code ends ======

command: \>phantomjs hello.js [http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dashboard/88bc09e0-9ed8-11e9-982a-b9c18cbffde2](http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dashboard/88bc09e0-9ed8-11e9-982a-b9c18cbffde2) kibi.pdf

Know that reporting plugin is there, but it is paid!!

Any leads will be more helpful!

Thanks in advance!

It's a rather complex process to capture a PDF or PNG of a Kibana dashboard, which is why the Reporting plugin exists. Also, PhantomJS is a rather outdated browser, and an abandoned project, so I'd highly recommend using something like [Headless Chromium](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md) instead.
