I have written a query, which returns results in dev tools console. How do I use this output in visualize.

This answer may help: [Custom queries in kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/custom-queries-in-kibana/91313) So basically you could create a query in discover, save it, then use it in a visualization. This would only allow a subset of the full Elastic DSL to be used.
