Creating Custom Kibana Visualizations

As you may very well know, Kibana currently has almost 20 different visualization types to choose from. This gives you a wide array of options to slice and dice your logs and metrics, and yet there are some cases where you might want to go beyond what is provided in these different visualizations and develop your own kind of visualization.

In the past, extending Kibana with customized visualizations meant building a Kibana plugin, but since version 6.2, users can accomplish the same goal more easily and from within Kibana using Vega and Vega-Lite — an open source, and relatively easy-to-use, JSON-based declarative languages. In this article, I'm going to go show some basic examples of how you can use these frameworks to extend Kibana's visualization capabilities.
