In the introduction page of the packet, I notice the following chart and the introduction: Sometimes you need the bird's eye view of how communications flow through your network. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/c/c18c3bb9fea9cd011a3aef7ebb955f021c4f5f11.png) I install the beat dashboard, but there is no such a chart. I am wondering how can I get this chart from Kibana? ---

This is unfortunately only available at the moment via a rather old fork of Kibana 3, see here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/\_viewing\_the\_topology\_diagram.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/packetbeat/current/_viewing_the_topology_diagram.html) We're hoping to transform that in a Kibana 4 visualization type soonish. ---
