== Building a Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
If you haven't yet indexed data into {es} or created an index pattern,
|
||||
you'll be prompted to do so as you follow the steps for creating a dashboard.
|
||||
Or, you can use one of the prebuilt sample data sets, available from the
|
||||
Kibana home page.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
. Click *Create new dashboard.*
|
||||
. Click *Create new dashboard.*
|
||||
. Click *Add*.

|
||||
or click *Add new visualization* to create one.

== Viewing Visualization Data
|
||||
== Inspecting a Visualization from the Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
If your visualization supports it, you can display the raw data behind
|
||||
the visualization using the Expand/Collapse button.
|
||||
Many visualizations allow you to inspect the data and requests behind the
|
||||
visualization.
|
||||
|
||||
In the dashboard, expand the visualization's panel menu (or gear menu if in
|
||||
*Edit* mode) and select *Inspect*.
|
||||
|
||||
The initial view shows the underlying data for the visualization. To view the
|
||||
requests that were made for the visualization, choose *Requests* from the *View*
|
||||
menu.
|
||||
|
||||
The views you'll see depend on the element that you inspect.
|
||||
|
||||
. Open the dashboard.
|
||||
. Hover over the visualization and click the *Expand* button in the lower
|
||||
left.
|
||||
+
|
||||
The underlying data is displayed in a table. You can also view
|
||||
the raw Elasticsearch request, the response in JSON, and the request statistics.
|
||||
These statistics show the query duration, request duration, total number
|
||||
of matching records, and the index that was searched.

||||

|
||||
To export the visualization data as a comma separated values
|
||||
(CSV) file, click *Raw* or *Formatted* at the bottom of the data
|
||||
table. *Raw* exports the response data as provided. *Formatted*
|
||||
exports the response data using applicable Kibana <<managing-fields,field
|
||||
formatters>>.
|
||||
|
||||
To return to the visualization, click the *Collapse* button in the lower left
|
||||
corner.
