Visualizing Dynamic Fields On Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi there !

To perform a technical analysis of hibernate stacks on our systems we had to store data as dynamic fields on ES.

We have something like this :

....
hibernate.entity10.fetchcount number
hibernate.entity10.loadcount number
hibernate.entity10.name string
hibernate.entity10.name.keyword string
hibernate.entity11.fetchcount number
hibernate.entity11.loadcount number
hibernate.entity11.name string
hibernate.entity11.name.keyword string
...
and so on. Each entity is dynamicly stored

That's already a great help to perform search in Discover mode like this :

hibernate.entity*.fetchcount:>50

This works great, but to go further does anyone have an idea on how we could explore this data in Visualize mode ?

Is there any way to be able to make a graph with the 10 most fetched entities (knowing the field entity is dynamic and not static as it should usualy be) ?

Thanks for your insights !

No, you have to split out the values into separate fields with the correct data types you want to plot over prior to visualizing them. Kibana currently does not provide a way to extract values from raw messages.

There are some discuss posts around this and possible solutions you may want to explore:
