Kibana泳道可视化
A swimlane visualization for Kibana, with builds available for Kibana 7.x, 6.x, 5.x and 4.x.
The visualization displays the behavior of a metric value over time across a field from the results.
Each lane displays a different value of the selected field, with the relative size of the metric
for that field over each time indicated by the color of the symbol at that time.
An example use case is shown below, where the swimlane is displaying data from a flight comparison website.
The average response time for each airline is plotted in a separate lane, with response times shown depending
on magnitude, with blue used for the shortest response times, then yellow, orange, and red for the longest
response times:
Kibana enforces that installed plugins match the version of Kibana itself, so different releases of the
swimlane plugin are available for each new Kibana release.
The distribution for Kibana 7 has been built for versions:
The distribution for Kibana 6 has been built for versions:
The distribution for Kibana 5 has been built for versions:
For Kibana 4 a single release was available and tested with versions 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6

The first step in creating the visualization is to configure the metric that will be displayed.
Select the Elasticsearch aggregation to be used - count, average, sum, min, max and unique count are currently available.
If using average, sum, min, max or unique count, select the numeric field that will be aggregated. A
custom label can also be entered if desired, which will be displayed against the value in tooltips. In our
example we are plotting average response time, with the numeric value stored in the responsetime field of the index:
The next step is to configure the field by which you want the results to be split to form the swimlanes using
an Elasticsearch terms aggregation. Select the field for the View by bucket aggregation, which will typically be
one of the string type fields in your results. Use the Size dropdown to select the maximum number of swimlanes
that will be displayed. In our example, we will be viewing results by airline, showing the top 15 airlines by
average response time:
Note if no View by buckets are configured, a single swimlane will be displayed showing the behavior of the
selected metric over all results.
The final step is to select the time field in your results. The time frame for the intervals in the swimlane
visualization can be specified in terms of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, or just
leave it to the Auto setting of Kibana which will aim to pick the optimum interval depending on the time
span of the query. An interval dropdown control is also available at the top of the swimlane for use when
the visualization has been saved and added to a dashboard (this control was not available for 6.0 and 6.1 releases
due to an issue with the Kibana Angular
visualization type).
The Options tab allows you to configure the color band thresholds, the format of the value shown in the tooltip
when hovering over a band in the swimlane, whether to display the legend showing the lower threshold values
for each of the color bands, and whether to sort the lanes alphabetically.
The swimlane uses different colors to indicate the value of the metric over a time interval. By default,
five threshold bands are set for a 0 to 100 range of values, with light blue used for the smallest value,
through to red for the largest value, and the ranges set to:
| Range | Color |
|---|---|
| 0 <= value < 3 | light blue |
| 3 <= value < 25 | blue |
| 25 <= value < 50 | yellow |
| 50 <= value < 75 | orange |
| 75 <= value | red |
To alter the numeric ranges for any of the bands, use the Band thresholds section of the Options tab to
enter the desired value, noting that the values entered define the lower threshold for each band. For example,
in the screenshot above, the thresholds have been adjusted to suit the range of response times from the flight
comparison website data, with values of 3000 or more displayed in red.
Alternative colors for the swimlane cells can be chosen here by using the provided colorpickers or by
entering hexidecimal color values.
The number of color bands can also be altered, using the Add or Delete buttons.
By default a legend will be displayed above the swimlane showing the configured lower band threshold values
for each of the colors. This legend can be hidden by deselecting the Show threshold legend checkbox in the
Options tab.
By default, the value shown in the tooltip when hovering over a band in the swimlane is shown to one decimal
place. To alter the format of the tooltip to suit values in your data set, enter the desired format in the
Tooltip formatting section of the Options tab. Refer to the Numeral.js documentation
for the range of accepted formats, with that being the library used to format the value in the tooltip.
The date and time shown in the tooltip is displayed in the format that Kibana uses for displaying pretty-formatted
dates. This dateFormat option can be configured in the Advanced Settings page under the Kibana Management
application.
By default the lanes will be displayed in the order returned by the configured View by bucket aggregation. To
perform a secondary alphabetical sort to the lane order, select Ascending or Descending as desired from the
Order lanes alphabetically dropdown control.
