Vega

edit

This functionality is in technical preview and may be changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

Build custom visualizations from multiple data sources using Vega and Vega-Lite.

  • Vega — A declarative format to create visualizations using JSON. Generate interactive displays using D3.
  • Vega-Lite — An easier format to use than Vega that enables more rapid data analysis. Compiles into Vega.

For more information about Vega and Vega-Lite, refer to Resources and examples.

Create Vega visualizations

edit

You create Vega visualizations by using the text editor, which is preconfigured with the options you need.

vega lite default

Change the Vega version

edit

The default visualization uses Vega-Lite version 2. To use Vega version 4, edit the schema.

Go to $schema, enter https://vega.github.io/schema/vega/v4.json, then click Update.

Change the visualization type

edit

The default visualization is a line chart. To change the visualization type, change the mark value. The supported visualization types are listed in the text editor.

Go to mark, change the value to a different visualization type, then click Update.

Change the layout

edit

By default, Vega visualizations use the autosize = { type: 'fit', contains: 'padding' } layout. fit uses all available space, ignores width and height values, and respects the padding values. To override this behavior, change the autosize value.
