Kibana Tag Cloud Plugin

A Tag Cloud Plugin for Kibana 5.1.1

Kibana Tag Cloud

This visualization was inspired by Tim Roe's blog post on creating a tag cloud plugin for Kibana 5. It is built using D3 and Jason Davie's d3-cloud plugin.

Requirements

Kibana 5.1.1

Installation steps

  1. Download and unpack Kibana. Note the location as it will be used as $KIBANA_HOME.
  2. Install the plugin with the following commands:
mkdir -p tmp/kibana
cd tmp/kibana
git clone https://github.com/stormpython/tagcloud.git
cd ../
zip -r tagcloud.zip kibana
$KIBANA_HOME/bin/kibana-plugin install file:///`pwd`/tagcloud.zip

Disclosure

This repo is in its early stages. There is an outstanding bug that needs to be fixed. In addition, please note d3-cloud's warning regarding how word clouds are rendered.

Note: if a word cannot be placed in any of the positions attempted along the spiral, it is not included in the final word layout. This may be addressed in a future release.
