[visualization] Creation Import & Export of Kibana Dashboards

[inishchith]

The task involves learning the process of creation of visualizations, import, and export of Kibana dashboards using appropriate Grimoirelab components

Components Involved

• Kibiter chaoss/grimoirelab-kibiter
• Sigils chaoss/grimoirelab-sigils
• Kidash chaoss/grimoirelab-kidash

Context

• After storing the data (in consideration) in raw and enriched indexes of ElasticSearch instance, we can move ahead with creating some visualization and eventually group a few of them to produce an insightful dashboard.

• I kept elasticsearch and kibiter instances running on their appropriate port ( :9200 and :5601 )( we can achieve this via executing micro-mordred via docker-compose too. Read more )

• Executed the p2o.py script which is located under /utils directory of chaoss/grimoirelab-elk in order to create raw and enriched indexes of data produced via Git Backend of Perceval as following:

p2o.py --enrich --index git_raw --index-enrich git -e http://localhost:9200 --no_inc git https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab-graal.git

Now we can work on the Kibiter instance on http://localhost:5601 to visualize the results.

• We can export the dashboard that was created with the help of Kidash using the following command:

kidash -g -e https://admin:admin@localhost:9200 --dashboard <index-id> --export <dashboard-name>.json

After exporting, in order to import them again we need to include these panels in /json directory of grimoirelab-sigils.

• We can import the panels to out instance using the following command.

kidash -g -e https://admin:admin@localhost:9200 --import <dashboard-name>.json
