HI folks,

I have tried vega visualization. which is available on [https://vega.github.io/editor/#/examples/vega/treemap](https://vega.github.io/editor/#/examples/vega/treemap)  
i have saved "flare.json" file in local system and accessible using file:/// on browser. but when i'm giving the path and execute the vega script it's throwing some exception over browser saying

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/f/d/fde80fb4ee549ba945acc81a7d91fca940fca421.png)

i enabled "vega.enableExternalUrls: true" in kibana.yml file.  
So i have some queries at this point

> ```
> 1. is there any something else which i have to enable i kibana.yml.
> 2. which type of path is required to load the data file absolute/relative ?
> 3. have anyone created vega visualization in kibana without loading data in elasticsearch ?
> 
> ```

If anyone faced something similar and resolved kindly help me out.

Thanks,  
Yash M.

Hello rashmi,

I have seen some post of @nyuriks but i'm not sure whether it is appropriate solution of my problem or not.

When i get this error Initially i was thinking it is because browser itself disabled file loading because of security reasons. then i started a localhost at 9004 port and put my data there. but still it showing same error.  
but if i put [vega.github.io](http://vega.github.io) data url then it's works magically. it seems like it accepting data only from a particular domain.

> Is there any other way where i can represent my static data over vega visualization ?
