Vega Image + Link display in Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi,

I am trying to get a visualization in Vega. I am able to get the result in Vega-editor, however not able to achieve the same in Kibana. Kindly guide.

The only difference between the two is that when I try to click on the image, it directs me to google in editor but the link is not working in Kibana

This is the Vega specification

{
  "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega/v3.json",
  "description": "Navigation Bar Buttons.",
  "autosize": "pad",
  "padding": 5,
  "height": 100,
  "layout": {"padding": 20, "bounds": "full", "align": "each"},
  "marks": [
    {
      "type": "group",
      "encode": {"update": {"width": {"value": 270}, "height": {"value": 100}}},
      "marks": [
        {
          "type": "image",
          "encode": {
            "enter": {
              "url": {
                "value": "https://github.com/AditiKhalatkar/Images/blob/master/Home_Tab.png?raw=true"
              }
            },
            "update": {"href": {"value": "https://www.google.com"}}
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "group",
      "encode": {"update": {"width": {"value": 270}, "height": {"value": 100}}},
      "marks": [
        {
          "type": "image",
          "encode": {
            "enter": {
              "url": {
                "value": "https://github.com/AditiKhalatkar/Images/blob/master/Home_Tab.png?raw=true"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

I have tried other vega-lite specifications in Kibana, the links work for those.

P.S : Is there any difference between vega and vega-lite settings for external url? I have added

vega.enableExternalUrls: true

in kibana.yml

I tried your script in the Vega Online Editor but the link does not work there either.

Are you sure this is the correct Vega code?

Thanks for trying the code!
Just to confirm one more time, I am pasting the output of my Vega Online Editor response.
Tab_Structure

When I click on Yelllow Dot (This is edited picture), it gets directed to google.com in my editor.

Kindly let me know if I am going wrong somewhere or if some other output is needed.

Vega Editor Link

Can you share your Vega Editor Response? When I clicked on the link you provided, I got the above response.

Thanks.

Ah, I see now. The link was not working for me because I had the renderer set to canvas in the Editor. The renderer is configurable in Kibana. See the script below.

{
  "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega/v3.json",
  config: {
    kibana: {
      renderer: svg
      }
  },
  "description": "Navigation Bar Buttons.",
  "autosize": "pad", 
  "padding": 5,
  "height": 100,
  "layout": {"padding": 20, "bounds": "full", "align": "each"},
  "marks": [
    {
      "type": "group",
      "encode": {"update": {"width": {"value": 270}, "height": {"value": 100}}},
      "marks": [
        {
          "type": "image",
          "encode": {
            "enter": {
              "url": {
                "value": "https://github.com/AditiKhalatkar/Images/blob/master/Home_Tab.png?raw=true"
              }
            },
            "update": {"href": {"value": "https://www.google.com"}}
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "group",
      "encode": {"update": {"width": {"value": 270}, "height": {"value": 100}}},
      "marks": [
        {
          "type": "image",
          "encode": {
            "enter": {
              "url": {
                "value": "https://github.com/AditiKhalatkar/Images/blob/master/Home_Tab.png?raw=true"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
