Kibana Dashboards and Lens Visualizations

Create, update, and delete Kibana dashboards and standalone Lens visualizations using the Kibana 9.4+ Dashboards and Visualizations APIs. Produce minimal, diffable JSON bodies; prefer inline panel definitions over library references; and choose the correct dataset type (data view vs ES|QL) before writing metrics or chart layers.

Environment Configuration

This skill executes Elasticsearch operations through the elastic CLI. If the elastic CLI is not installed, tell the user what it is needed for. Do not guess credentials, call the HTTP API directly, or attempt other workarounds.

This skill references operations in HTTP-shorthand form (e.g., GET /, GET /_cat/indices, GET /{index}/_mapping, GET /{index}/_settings/index.mode, POST /_query). The Operations table at the end of this document maps each shorthand to the equivalent elastic CLI command — always use the CLI rather than calling the HTTP API directly.

Prerequisites

Version requirement: Kibana 9.4+ (Dashboards and Visualizations APIs).

ES|QL placement:

Standalone library charts: PUT kbn:/api/visualizations/{id} with data_source.type: "esql".
ES|QL panels embedded in a dashboard: inline vis panel config with data_source.type: "esql" via PUT kbn:/api/dashboards/{id}.
Do not use data_source.type: "data_view_reference" or index-pattern aggregations when the user explicitly requests ES|QL — the persisted Lens state must use a text-based ES|QL datasource (textBased / esql), not a data-view count operation.

Process

Verify Kibana connectivity. Call GET kbn:/api/status. If the call fails, stop and surface the error — do not guess endpoints or credentials. Read version.number to confirm the cluster meets the 9.4+ requirement.
Classify the task. Decide whether the user needs a dashboard (collection of panels, optional time range), a standalone Lens visualization (library item referenced by id or used alone), or both. Determine whether a deterministic saved-object id was supplied — when given, use upsert (PUT) with that id rather than POST (which auto-generates ids).

Choose the dataset type before building metrics or layers.

User intent	Dataset	Metric / axis pattern
Simple count or aggregation on a saved data view	`data_source.type: "data_view_reference"` with `ref_id`	`metrics: [{ type: "primary", operation: "count" }]` (or other aggregation operations)
Ad-hoc index pattern	`data_source.type: "data_view_spec"` with `index_pattern` and `time_field`	Same aggregation `operation` fields
ES\|QL query (explicit or complex logic)	`data_source.type: "esql"` with `query`	`metrics: [{ type: "primary", column: "<alias>" }]` or layer axes `{ column: "<alias>" }` — never `operation: "count"` on the metric

Write the aggregation in the ES|QL query (STATS count = COUNT()), then reference the resulting column by name.

Build a dashboard body when creating or updating dashboards. The request body is flat — title, panels, and optional time_range at the root. Do not wrap in { data: ... } on write. Required fields:
- title — exact string the user requested.
- panels — array; use [] when the user asks for an empty dashboard (do not omit the key or invent panels).
- time_range — when the user specifies a default time filter, set { "from": "<expr>", "to": "<expr>" } (for example { "from": "now-7d", "to": "now" }). Supplying time_range persists the dashboard time filter on open (equivalent to enabling time restore in the UI).
Upsert with a deterministic id:
```
{
  "title": "Sales Overview",
  "panels": [],
  "time_range": { "from": "now-7d", "to": "now" }
}
```
Call PUT kbn:/api/dashboards/eval-sales-overview with the body above when the user supplies that id.

Inline ES|QL metric panel example (inside panels):
```
{
  "type": "vis",
  "id": "total-requests",
  "grid": { "x": 0, "y": 0, "w": 12, "h": 6 },
  "config": {
    "title": "Total Requests",
    "type": "metric",
    "data_source": {
      "type": "esql",
      "query": "FROM logs* | STATS count = COUNT()"
    },
    "metrics": [{ "type": "primary", "column": "count" }]
  }
}
```
Prefer inline config properties over config.ref_id for portable dashboards. Read Dashboard API Reference for panel types, grid layout, and copy workflows.
Build a standalone Lens visualization when the user asks for a library chart. Use the Visualizations API. Upsert with PUT kbn:/api/visualizations/{id} when an id is supplied; otherwise POST kbn:/api/visualizations and report the generated id from the response.

ES|QL metric (total count from logs):
```
{
  "type": "metric",
  "title": "Total Requests",
  "data_source": {
    "type": "esql",
    "query": "FROM logs* | STATS count = COUNT()"
  },
  "metrics": [{ "type": "primary", "column": "count" }]
}
```
Call PUT kbn:/api/visualizations/eval-total-requests when that id is required. The API persists a Lens saved object whose datasource state uses ES|QL (textBased / esql), not an index-pattern aggregation.

Read Lens API Reference and Chart Types Reference for xy, gauge, heatmap, and other chart schemas.
Execute and confirm. Perform the write with PUT kbn:/api/dashboards/{id} or PUT kbn:/api/visualizations/{id} (or POST when no id is supplied). Confirm with GET kbn:/api/dashboards/{id} or GET kbn:/api/visualizations/{id}. Report the id and title back to the user — do not claim success without a successful read-back.
List, export, or delete when requested. Call GET kbn:/api/dashboards or GET kbn:/api/visualizations to discover existing objects. Call DELETE kbn:/api/dashboards/{id} or DELETE kbn:/api/visualizations/{id} to remove objects. For bulk export or import of saved objects, call POST kbn:/api/saved_objects/_export or POST kbn:/api/saved_objects/_import.

Dashboard grid

Dashboards use a 48-column grid. On 16:9 screens, roughly 20–24 rows fit above the fold — target 8–12 panels in that band.

Width	Columns	Height (rows)	Use case
Full	48	14–16	Wide time series, tables
Half	24	10–12	Primary charts
Quarter	12	5–6	KPI metrics
Sixth	8	4–5	Dense metric rows

Grid packing: When stacking rows, set the next panel's y to the previous panel's y + h. Panels sharing a row should use the same h. Do not add markdown panels as dashboard titles — use descriptive chart titles instead.

ES|QL patterns

Time series bucket (dashboard time picker injects ?_tstart / ?_tend):

FROM logs*
| WHERE @timestamp <= ?_tend AND @timestamp > ?_tstart
| STATS count = COUNT() BY BUCKET(@timestamp, 75, ?_tstart, ?_tend)

Set "scale": "temporal" on the x-axis for time-series xy charts. See Chart Types Reference for axis and layer details.

Static reference values — use EVAL in the query, then reference the column:

FROM logs* | STATS count = COUNT() | EVAL goal = 15000

Examples

Example JSON definitions live under assets/: demo-dashboard.json, dashboard-with-visualizations.json, metric-esql.json, bar-chart-esql.json, line-chart-timeseries.json.

Guidelines

Match the user's id and title exactly when supplied — do not substitute auto-generated ids.
Honor empty panels — when the user asks for panels: [], send an empty array; do not add placeholder panels.
ES|QL when requested — use data_source.type: "esql" and column references; never satisfy an ES|QL request with operation: "count" on a data view.
Minimal payloads — omit derivable defaults; let the API inject styling and metadata.
Confirm writes — always read back with GET after create or update.
Read references before complex charts — metric and xy schemas differ between data view and ES|QL; consult Chart Types Reference before generating partition or table charts.

Common issues

Error	Likely cause	Fix
404 on GET after PUT	Wrong id or space	Confirm id and retry `GET kbn:/api/dashboards/{id}`
400 validation	ES\|QL column mismatch	Align `metrics[].column` / layer `column` with `STATS` aliases in the query
ES\|QL panel saved as data view	Wrong dataset type	Use `data_source.type: "esql"`, not `data_view_reference`
Empty dashboard missing time filter	Omitted `time_range`	Include `{ "from": "now-7d", "to": "now" }` when a default range is required
XY chart failure	Missing layer `data_source`	Put `data_source` inside each layer, not only at the root

Operations

As of CLI v0.3.0 the Dashboards and Visualizations APIs have dedicated elastic kb dashboards and elastic kb visualizations commands for listing, reading, updating, and deleting objects by id. The create-*-redirect commands do not accept a request body yet, so to write a new object supply an id and use the update-*-redirect (PUT) command, which carries the JSON body via --input-file. To author several objects at once, build a saved-object NDJSON and import it with post-saved-objects-import (read it back with post-saved-objects-export).

## Prerequisites

**Version requirement:** Kibana 9.4+ (Dashboards and Visualizations APIs).

**ES|QL placement:**

- Standalone library charts: `PUT kbn:/api/visualizations/{id}` with `data_source.type: "esql"`.
- ES|QL panels embedded in a dashboard: inline `vis` panel `config` with `data_source.type: "esql"` via
  `PUT kbn:/api/dashboards/{id}`.
- Do not use `data_source.type: "data_view_reference"` or index-pattern aggregations when the user explicitly requests
  ES|QL — the persisted Lens state must use a text-based ES|QL datasource (`textBased` / `esql`), not a data-view count
  operation.

## Process

1. **Verify Kibana connectivity.** Call `GET kbn:/api/status`. If the call fails, stop and surface the error — do not
   guess endpoints or credentials. Read `version.number` to confirm the cluster meets the 9.4+ requirement.

2. **Classify the task.** Decide whether the user needs a **dashboard** (collection of panels, optional time range), a
   **standalone Lens visualization** (library item referenced by id or used alone), or **both**. Determine whether a
   deterministic saved-object id was supplied — when given, use upsert (`PUT`) with that id rather than `POST` (which
   auto-generates ids).

3. **Choose the dataset type before building metrics or layers.**

   | User intent                                      | Dataset                                                                    | Metric / axis pattern                                                                                                                    |
   | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | Simple count or aggregation on a saved data view | `data_source.type: "data_view_reference"` with `ref_id`                    | `metrics: [{ type: "primary", operation: "count" }]` (or other aggregation operations)                                                   |
   | Ad-hoc index pattern                             | `data_source.type: "data_view_spec"` with `index_pattern` and `time_field` | Same aggregation `operation` fields                                                                                                      |
   | ES\|QL query (explicit or complex logic)         | `data_source.type: "esql"` with `query`                                    | `metrics: [{ type: "primary", column: "<alias>" }]` or layer axes `{ column: "<alias>" }` — **never** `operation: "count"` on the metric |

   Write the aggregation in the ES|QL query (`STATS count = COUNT()`), then reference the resulting column by name.

4. **Build a dashboard body when creating or updating dashboards.** The request body is flat — `title`, `panels`, and
   optional `time_range` at the root. Do not wrap in `{ data: ... }` on write. Required fields:
   - `title` — exact string the user requested.
   - `panels` — array; use `[]` when the user asks for an empty dashboard (do not omit the key or invent panels).
   - `time_range` — when the user specifies a default time filter, set `{ "from": "<expr>", "to": "<expr>" }` (for
     example `{ "from": "now-7d", "to": "now" }`). Supplying `time_range` persists the dashboard time filter on open
     (equivalent to enabling time restore in the UI).

   **Upsert with a deterministic id:**

   ```json
   {
     "title": "Sales Overview",
     "panels": [],
     "time_range": { "from": "now-7d", "to": "now" }
   }
   ```

   Call `PUT kbn:/api/dashboards/eval-sales-overview` with the body above when the user supplies that id.

   **Inline ES|QL metric panel example** (inside `panels`):

   ```json
   {
     "type": "vis",
     "id": "total-requests",
     "grid": { "x": 0, "y": 0, "w": 12, "h": 6 },
     "config": {
       "title": "Total Requests",
       "type": "metric",
       "data_source": {
         "type": "esql",
         "query": "FROM logs* | STATS count = COUNT()"
       },
       "metrics": [{ "type": "primary", "column": "count" }]
     }
   }
   ```

   Prefer inline `config` properties over `config.ref_id` for portable dashboards. Read
   [Dashboard API Reference](references/dashboard-api-reference.md) for panel types, grid layout, and copy workflows.

5. **Build a standalone Lens visualization when the user asks for a library chart.** Use the Visualizations API. Upsert
   with `PUT kbn:/api/visualizations/{id}` when an id is supplied; otherwise `POST kbn:/api/visualizations` and report
   the generated id from the response.

   **ES|QL metric (total count from logs):**

   ```json
   {
     "type": "metric",
     "title": "Total Requests",
     "data_source": {
       "type": "esql",
       "query": "FROM logs* | STATS count = COUNT()"
     },
     "metrics": [{ "type": "primary", "column": "count" }]
   }
   ```

   Call `PUT kbn:/api/visualizations/eval-total-requests` when that id is required. The API persists a Lens saved object
   whose datasource state uses ES|QL (`textBased` / `esql`), not an index-pattern aggregation.

   Read [Lens API Reference](references/lens-api-reference.md) and
   [Chart Types Reference](references/chart-types-reference.md) for xy, gauge, heatmap, and other chart schemas.

6. **Execute and confirm.** Perform the write with `PUT kbn:/api/dashboards/{id}` or `PUT kbn:/api/visualizations/{id}`
   (or `POST` when no id is supplied). Confirm with `GET kbn:/api/dashboards/{id}` or
   `GET kbn:/api/visualizations/{id}`. Report the id and title back to the user — do not claim success without a
   successful read-back.

7. **List, export, or delete when requested.** Call `GET kbn:/api/dashboards` or `GET kbn:/api/visualizations` to
   discover existing objects. Call `DELETE kbn:/api/dashboards/{id}` or `DELETE kbn:/api/visualizations/{id}` to remove
   objects. For bulk export or import of saved objects, call `POST kbn:/api/saved_objects/_export` or
   `POST kbn:/api/saved_objects/_import`.

## Dashboard grid

Dashboards use a **48-column** grid. On 16:9 screens, roughly **20–24 rows** fit above the fold — target **8–12 panels**
in that band.

| Width   | Columns | Height (rows) | Use case                 |
| ------- | ------- | ------------- | ------------------------ |
| Full    | 48      | 14–16         | Wide time series, tables |
| Half    | 24      | 10–12         | Primary charts           |
| Quarter | 12      | 5–6           | KPI metrics              |
| Sixth   | 8       | 4–5           | Dense metric rows        |

**Grid packing:** When stacking rows, set the next panel's `y` to the previous panel's `y + h`. Panels sharing a row
should use the same `h`. Do not add markdown panels as dashboard titles — use descriptive chart titles instead.

## ES|QL patterns

**Time series bucket** (dashboard time picker injects `?_tstart` / `?_tend`):

```esql
FROM logs*
| WHERE @timestamp <= ?_tend AND @timestamp > ?_tstart
| STATS count = COUNT() BY BUCKET(@timestamp, 75, ?_tstart, ?_tend)
```

Set `"scale": "temporal"` on the x-axis for time-series xy charts. See
[Chart Types Reference](references/chart-types-reference.md) for axis and layer details.

**Static reference values** — use `EVAL` in the query, then reference the column:

```esql
FROM logs* | STATS count = COUNT() | EVAL goal = 15000
```

## Examples

Example JSON definitions live under [assets/](assets/): `demo-dashboard.json`, `dashboard-with-visualizations.json`,
`metric-esql.json`, `bar-chart-esql.json`, `line-chart-timeseries.json`.
