elasticsearch - Export to csv/excel from kibana

Question

I am building a proof of concept using Elasticsearch Logstash and Kibana for one of my projects. I have the dashboard with the graphs working without any issue. One of the requirements for my project is the ability to download the file(csv/excel). In kibana the only option i saw for downloading the file is by clicking on edit button on the visualization created. Is it possible to add a link on the dashboard that would allow users to download the file without going into the edit mode. And secondly I would like to disable/hide the edit mode for anyone other than me who views the dashboard. Thanks

Answer 1

To export data to csv/excel from Kibana follow the following steps:-

1. Click on Visualize Tab & select a visualization (if created). If not created create a visualziation.

2. Click on caret symbol (^) which is present at the bottom of the visualization.

3. Then you will get an option of Export:Raw Formatted as the bottom of the page.

Please find below attached image showing Export option after clicking on caret symbol.
