Hi,

How can visualize the result of a sql query in Kibana?

For example:  
Query:

> POST \_xpack/sql?format=txt  
> {  
> "query":"SELECT ip\_client, count(\*) AS Number\_Logins FROM splunk\_logs WHERE result='000' AND channel='WEB' AND action='LOGIN' GROUP BY ip\_client"  
> }

Result:

> ip\_client | Number\_Logins  
> ---------------+---------------  
> 83.61.23.163 |9

Thanks.

Core Kibana does not have SQL support yet, but the new [Canvas](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/canvas.html) application does.

Thanks, i just tried Canvas but still have the same problem.  
Query:

> SELECT(SELECT \* FROM splunk\_logs WHERE action='LOGIN')-(SELECT \* FROM splunk\_logs WHERE action = 'VOTST') AS Diff

No result.. and if i execute this query in Dev Tools:

> POST \_xpack/sql?format=txt  
> {  
> "query":"SELECT(SELECT \* FROM splunk\_logs WHERE action='LOGIN')-(SELECT \* FROM splunk\_logs WHERE action = 'VOTST') AS Diff"  
> }

Result:

> {  
> "error": {  
> "root\_cause": [  
> {  
> "type": "unsupported\_operation\_exception",  
> "reason": null  
> }  
> ],  
> "type": "unsupported\_operation\_exception",  
> "reason": null  
> },  
> "status": 500  
> }

There is any limitation for sql queries in Elasticsearch?  
Thanks again.

There are definitely some differences but I'm not intimately familiar with the details myself. For help with specific SQL queries, try the [Elasticsearch forum](https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elasticsearch).
