== Canvas tutorial
|
|
|
|
To get up and running with Canvas, use the following tutorial where you'll create a display for monitoring sales at an eCommerce store.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Before you begin
|
|
|
|
For this tutorial, you'll need to add the <<add-sample-data, Sample eCommerce orders data>>.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Create your workpad
|
|
|
|
Your first step to working with Canvas is to create a workpad.
|
|
|
|
. Open the menu, then go to *Canvas*.
|
|
|
|
. On the *Canvas workpads* page, click *Create workpad*.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
=== Customize your workpad with images
|
|
|
|
To customize your workpad to look the way you want, add your own images.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Add element > Image > Image*.
|
|
+
|
|
The default Elastic logo image appears on the page.
|
|
|
|
. To replace the Elastic logo with your own image, select the image, then use the editor.
|

|
|
=== Customize your data with metrics
|
|
|
|
Customize your data by connecting it to the Sample eCommerce orders data.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Add element > Chart > Metric*.
|
|
+
|
|
By default, the element is connected to the demo data, which enables you to experiment with the element before you connect it to your own data source.
|
|
|
|
. To connect the element to your own data source, make sure that the element is selected, click *Data > Demo data > Elasticsearch SQL*.
|
|
|
|
.. In the *Query* field, enter the following:
|
|
+
|
|
`SELECT sum(taxless_total_price) AS sum_total_price FROM "kibana_sample_data_ecommerce"`
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Save*.
|
|
+
|
|
The query selects the total price field and sets it to the sum_total_price field. All fields are pulled from the kibana_sample_data_ecommerce index.
|
|
|
|
. At this point, the element appears as an error, so you need to change the element display options.
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Display*
|
|
|
|
.. From the *Value* drop-down lists, make sure that *Unique* is selected, then select *sum_total_price*.
|
|
|
|
.. Change the *Label* to `Total sales`.
|
|
|
|
. The error is gone, but the element could use some formatting. To format the number, use the Canvas expression language.
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Expression editor*.
|
|
+
|
|
You're now looking at the raw data syntax that Canvas uses to display the element.
|
|
|
|
.. Change `metricFormat="0,0.[000]"` to `metricFormat="$0a"`.
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Run*.

|
|
=== Show off your data with charts
|
|
|
|
To show what your data can do, add charts, graphs, progress monitors, and more to your workpad.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Add element > Chart > Area*.
|
|
|
|
. Make sure that the element is selected, then click *Data > Demo data > Elasticsearch SQL*.
|
|
|
|
.. To obtain the taxless total price by date, enter the following in the *Query* field:
|
|
+
|
|
`SELECT order_date, taxless_total_price FROM "kibana_sample_data_ecommerce" ORDER BY order_date`
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Save*.
|
|
|
|
. Change the display options.
|
|
|
|
.. Click *Display*
|
|
|
|
.. From the *X-axis* drop-down lists, select *Value*, then select *order_date*.
|
|
|
|
.. From the *Y-axis* drop-down lists, select *Value*, then select *taxless_total_price*.
|

|
|
=== Show how your data changes over time
|
|
|
|
To focus your data on a specific time range, add the time filter.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Add element > Filter > Time filter*.
|
|
|
|
. Click *Display*
|
|
|
|
. To use the date time field from the sample data, enter `order_date` in the *Column* field, then click *Set*.
|
|
|
|
[role="screenshot"]
|
|
image::images/canvas-timefilter-element.png[]
|
|
|
|
To see how the data changes, set the time filter to *Last 7 days*. As you change the time filter options, the elements automatically update.
|
|
|
|
Your workpad is now complete!
