Gantt chart widget

[akivaElkayam]

Add the Gantt chart widget to the widget list

[rashidkpc]

Can you elaborate on what you're looking for and why? Helpful things include:

1. Example use cases
2. Screenshots
3. Aggregations that would produce the desired data.

Hi, lets say I have array of actions in this format [{ actionType:'',status:good,startDate:'' ,endDate:'' ...}] I would like to diaplay this data in a widget that can put each of that row on a the timeline from the startDate to the endDate , and have the ablity to aggregate by actionType and status

I'd like to add an additional use-case for a "gantt-like" visualization.

One of the things we store in Elasticsearch are transaction traces that contain information such as response/service time, amount of data processed, etc.

It would be very valuable to somehow present that information in a similar way that browser dev tools show where the browser spends its time when processing a request.

[akivaElkayam]

Great example .. this is exactly what we need

This would be useful for displaying transaction traces

Would be great if it did not require a start time and end time fields but would also be able to use a start time and duration field. Defining the format of the duration field is essential in the visualization.

More useful because the duration field exists in many cases.

+1 would be extremely useful for our web logs and app traces

+1 - use case : timestamp based events happening across a large company. I'd like correlate them visually on a specific time period. E.g. What changes went out across all micro services during a specific time period.

+1 - any progress with Gantt chart for Kibana/ELK? Use case: to show online status of nodes. x axis is time, y axis - list of nodes with start/stop or up/down.

adding to this 'horizontal line case' i can add this telecom world case. on telecom we gathered 'communication cdr' that contains start date:time and stop date: time or call duration.

as a telecom designer it's important to size telecom links in a number of simultaneaous call. So tracing only start and end point is not enough. those 2 point are interisting to have the 'dynamic' how may calls start during an interval but , to be able to size we need to know how many calls open at the same time. so even if details for each call could be useful (start time duration'display as an horizontal line. the more need is to have a cummultaive view in the end along a day it gives something like that some sort of hat with a peak in the morning and the afternoon.

Gantt charts are pretty standard for highlighting contiguous periods of time during which a service or machine held a particular status. And given that users often want to narrow their search context based on the period during which a machine or service held a particular status, this type of visualization absolutely connects to Elasticsearch's core search functionality.

In one of our main use cases, we might know from log data that a machine has one of four states: Setup, Running, Down, Maintenance.

The data underlying such a visualization may have both start and end timestamps

{
   "status" : "Setup",
   "startTime" : "2017-07-04T00:00:00.000Z",
   "endTime" : "2017-07-04T01:30:00.000Z"
},
{
   "status" : "Running",
   "startTime" : "2017-07-04T01:30:00.000Z",
   "endTime" : "2017-07-04T04:45:00.000Z"
},
...

or start timestamps and durations

{
   "status" : "Setup",
   "timestamp" : "2017-07-04T00:00:00.000Z",
   "duration" : "5400"
},
{
   "status" : "Running",
   "timestamp" : "2017-07-04T01:30:00.000Z",
   "duration" : "11700"
},
...

or even just start timestamps

{
   "status" : "Setup",
   "timestamp" : "2017-07-04T00:00:00.000Z"
},
{
   "status" : "Running",
   "timestamp" : "2017-07-04T01:30:00.000Z"
},
...

In the last data example, it is assumed that a machine holds a particular state until an event occurs that explicitly initiates a new state.

Kibana is currently incapable of producing visualizations that correspond to the above document data examples. It can be faked, in a clunky way, with the Heat Map visualization by transforming each of the above documents into a collection of documents corresponding to each second. However, it's a waste of resources to produce 86400 one-second documents for each 24-hour period whose only use is this one visualization, and it's not feasible to reproduce that document set each time the visualization is called.

Here's an alternative visualization (though it won't work for the previously mentioned use cases):

Ideally in implementation, a user would be able to click on a coloured bar and the resulting filter would be both an adjustment of the time range to that of the bar and a term filter on the status (or whatever keyword is used define the different rows).
