Kibana 4.3 and ES 2.1, LS 2.0 and SH2.0 Is there a way to render small images in Kibana whose URLs are store/retrieved from ES?! Example - a small image url of a thumbnail is stored in one of the doucments. How could I get Kibana to render that image in search results instead of showing the URL string ?! ---

I found the URL type in Kibana Settings - I'm trying to make it work with the default image that ships with Kibana. HOw to I assign a value ("go", "stop", etc) to the \*\*value \*\* variable so that it will render that go.png or stop.png images? Does the value have to come from one of the fields in the document, or can a string value be assigned based on logic? If condition1, then "go.png", else "stop.png"?! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/1/143ac99da5846ad116156abbb0d296692c7fd03b.png) ---

Based on your screen shot it looks like you're trying to use the scripted fields feature. Unfortunately that only works with numbers. ---

Ok - I I've tried another approach. I used the URL formatter on the orderingCountry field. THe URL formatter template is this: /ui/public/stringify/icons/{{value}}.png Which resolves to this in the Discover search results: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/a/aae397c0626f0300930f664358047218bb5bc787.png) All good now - thx ---

This can be done with a plugin... I will post an example back here tomorrow. ---

I didn't forget about you... I put together this example of an asset plugin that you can use. > **[kreeware/kibana-cookbook](https://github.com/kreeware/kibana-cookbook/tree/master/asset-example)** > > kibana-cookbook - A collection of solutions and for creating dashboards and visualizations with Kibana ---
