How to use

Step 1: Import KibanaGenericVisualization

Using CommonJS module loader:

const { KibanaGenericVisualization } = require('kibana-generic-visualization');

Using ES6 module loader:

import { KibanaGenericVisualization } from 'kibana-generic-visualization';

Step 2: Create new instance of KibanaGenericVisualization

Create new instance of KibanaGenericVisualization and provide config (about config have a look at API section):

const options = {
    kibanaVersion: '6.3.2',
    api: {
      host: 'https://api-eu.logz.io/v1',
      token: 'your-kibana-api-secret-token',
    },
};

const kibanaGenericVisualization = new KibanaGenericVisualization(options);

Step 3: Create visualizations and dashboard

Create visualizations for each service instance and combine them in a dashboard.

const serviceNames {
  'my-first-redis-service',
  'my-second-redis-service',
};

const metrics = [
  { fieldName: 'metrics.mem_fragmentation_ratio', customLabel: 'Memory Fragmentation Ratio' },
  { fieldName: 'metrics.evicted_keys', customLabel: 'Removed Keys' },
];

const redisVisualizationIds = await kibanaGenericVisualization.createVisualizations(
  'line', // visualization type
  serviceNames, // service names array
  serviceName => `Redis ${serviceName} Metric`, // generic visualization name
  metrics, // log attributes to display
  'my-saved-search-id' // saved search id
);

const dashboardGridOptions = {
  width: 24,
  height: 15,
  maxWidth: 48,
};

kibanaGenericVisualization.createDashboard('Redis Dashboard', redisVisualizationIds.created, dashboardGridOptions);
