Can you be a little more specific on how you want to display it in Kibana? You can't upload an image to Kibana. You can index an image as base64. You can display an image using an externally hosted image. You could host that image on Kibana web server, but not really recommended. Here is just using an image converted to base64 in markdown. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/1/c1f3d71c673e0a510d6f718ab4414008c4636f93.png) ---
