Hi @DrissiReda. Kibana is very tightly coupled to Elasticsearch so I think adapting Kibana to use a different database such as Clickhouse would be a very difficult task. If you must use Clickhouse, may I suggest using [Grafana](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/vertamedia-clickhouse-datasource/) instead?

If you are not completely reliant on Clickhouse, perhaps you can use one of the many [integrations in the Elastic Stack](https://www.elastic.co/integrations) instead? You can [sign up for a free trial of Elastic Cloud](https://cloud.elastic.co/registration) to try it out. 🙂
