This post is part of a series: DIY - Kibana Dashboards with Application
Once the search index (based on application data) is deployed and functional in Elasticsearch, we can now move ahead with the process of configuring visualizations and dashboards in Kibana.
Create Index Pattern in Kibana
At this stage, we know that our custom search index is working in Elasticsearch. The next step is to create an index pattern in Kibana. This index pattern will then become the hook (connection) between the search index in Elasticsearch and the visualizations in Kibana.
Let us login to Kibana (using PS userid) and create the index pattern based on the search index in Elasticsearch.
Accessing Kibana Dashboards from PeopleSoft
PS userid has elevated security in the application so we know that we can login to Kibana without any issues using that userid. But what is the security required to be able to login to Kibana?
PeopleBooks: Accessing Kibana Dashboards from PeopleSoft
"A PeopleSoft user with the Search Administrator role or a user who has edit privilege or create privilege to any of the dashboard can log on to Kibana directly. The edit or create privilege is specified on the Kibana Privileges page."
After logging into Kibana as PS userid (or other userid with appropriate access), we can create the index pattern based on the search index as shown below.
Kibana > Management > Index Patterns > Create Index Pattern
Create Visualizations
Now that we have everything in place, we can start creating our visualizations in Kibana.
Tag Cloud Visualization
Horizontal Bar Visualization
Vertical Bar Visualization
Pie Visualization
Saved Search with Drilling URL
Before we create a saved search with drilling URL, we must change the format of the drilling URL field from string to URL. This will ensure that the URL is actually converted into a hyperlink in the visualization.
Kibana > Management > Index Patterns > Select Index Pattern: sv_ib_async_msg* > Field: ORCL_ES_LINK
Now we can go ahead and create a saved search.
Create Dashboards
The first dashboard created in the video shown below will be the detailed dashboard (Full View) which contains all the visualizations.
The next video demonstrates how to create a Dashboard with a single visualization. This will be used as the Tile Dynamic Content for the Kibana Visualizer (Tile View).
That is it! Our job within Kibana is completed.
