Using results from diffierent canvas components to derive new values

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I’m new to canvas and would like to know if one can create several different elements - say guages to measure error rate, and then have another guage that uses the output of those to generate say, an average health?

I have been trying to use variables, but it seems those are only local to each element. I’ve tried finding this in documentation, but the doc is a bit scarse with no examples.

Can someone help?

Hi @CalvinHobbes

I don't think what you are asking is possible in Canvas. Currently every element is self contained so passing data between them would not be possible.

In the future it may be possible to have a shared datasource, so building two elements off the same query would be possible, but that would be some time in the future.

Sorry that it's not possible
