expressions plugin
editexpressions
plugin
editExpression pipeline is a chain of functions that pipe its output to the
input of the next function. Functions can be configured using arguments provided
by the user. The final output of the expression pipeline can be rendered using
one of the renderers registered in expressions
plugin.
All the arguments to expression functions need to be serializable, as well as input and output. Expression functions should try to stay pure. This makes functions easy to reuse and also make it possible to serialize the whole chain as well as output at every step of execution.
It is possible to add comments to expressions by starting them with a //
sequence
or by using /*
and */
to enclose multi-line comments.
Expressions power visualizations in Dashboard and Lens, as well as, every element in Canvas is backed by an expression.
This plugin provides methods which will parse & execute an expression pipeline string for you, as well as a series of registries for advanced users who might want to incorporate their own functions, types, and renderers into the service for use in their own application.
Examples
editBelow is an example of serialized expression for one Canvas element that fetches
data using essql
function, pipes it further to math
and metric
functions,
and final render
function renders the result.
filters | essql query="SELECT COUNT(timestamp) as total_errors FROM kibana_sample_data_logs WHERE tags LIKE '%warning%' OR tags LIKE '%error%'" | math "total_errors" // take "total_errors" column /* Represent as a number over a label */ | metric "TOTAL ISSUES" metricFont={font family="'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size=48 align="left" color="#FFFFFF" weight="normal" underline=false italic=false} labelFont={font family="'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size=30 align="left" color="#FFFFFF" weight="lighter" underline=false italic=false} | render [/source]
