This plugin is a wrapper for the stand-alone library d3-milestones (https://github.com/walterra/d3-milestones) to make its functionality available within Kibana.
To get a version of this plugin which is compatible with your version of Kibana, have a look at the releases page on GitHub: https://github.com/walterra/kibana-milestones-vis/releases
The releases of this plugin are synced with Kibana's release cycle. In the "Assets" section of each release you'll find a zipped build of the plugin which you can use. These zip files are named in the following way: kibanaMilestonesVis-<plugin-version>.zip. The plugin-version should match the version of Kibana you're using.
Run the following from within your Kibana folder:
bin/kibana-plugin install https://github.com/walterra/kibana-milestones-vis/releases/download/v7.17.0/kibanaMilestonesVis-7.17.0.zip
- Head over to https://github.com/walterra/kibana-milestones-vis/releases and download the ZIP of the version you want to use, e.g. https://github.com/walterra/kibana-milestones-vis/releases/download/v7.17.0/kibanaMilestonesVis-7.17.0.zip
- Inside your kibana directory, run
bin/kibana-plugin install file:///<path-to-file>/kibanaMilestonesVis-7.17.0.zip, thennpm run start
- Create a Kibana index pattern including a time filter.
- Go to
Visualize > Create New Visualizationand choose the Milestones visualization in the Time Series section. - In the next view, pick the index pattern you created.
- You should end up on the visualization's page where you can tweak it. Make sure you have the right time span selected (upper right corner).
- The visualization works best with sparse data. While there is some optimization going on to distribute labels, you might get irritating results with data which results in too many labels.
