Series transformations (eg derivative)

[markjandejong]

The option of graphing derivatives seems to be missing in kibana-4.0.0-BETA1.1

[rashidkpc]

Correct, this feature never really should have been on the frontend. The elasticsearch team is implementing it on the backend, once derivatives are able to be calculated on the server side we'll work them back into Kibana. See the elasticsearch ticket here: elastic/elasticsearch#8110

Is it possible to reconsider adding this feature back to Kibana temporarily? - It seems that ES issue 8810 has been closed in favor of 9293 - tagged for ES 2.0. I'm guessing that ES 2.0 is not going to be released in the near-term?

Without the ability to generate derivative graphs, I think the Logstash collectd plugin will be unusable with Kibana. (The following ES blog post mentions derivative support is required to make use of counters provided by collectd: http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/logstash-collectd-input-plugin/ ).

I'd like to see this added back in, as well, if possible. 👍

With the ElasticSearch backend portion completed, is this planned to be added to Kibana 4?

[jeanpralo]

@rashidkpc are we suppose to use the json input to use those series transformations ? Derivative is an important feature for counters (collectd input with logstash) as without it graphs won't make a lot of sense.

Can't find any doc or ticket which seems to explain how we are suppose to use it with kibana.

Thanks for the work :)

We could really use this too. We use collectd + logstash as well.

Same here… critical feature…

Has anyone had success with the json input?

We want to use Kibana 4 to show collectd information as well.

This is kind of sad thing. We're using kibana3 and kibana4. Both of them do things the other can't. There are things that will make kibana3 unusable after ES 1.7. So, is this a way to force to move on ES2 and K4? If I do that, we'll miss derivatives graphs.

Is there a way to achieve this with json input?

The whole collectd setup is not useful anymore without derivatives.
Now we have Kibana 4.3 and ES 2.1, there is something we can do now?

Try timelion in 4.3

How to show in Kibana?
