Developing Visualizationsedit

These pages document internal APIs and are not guaranteed to be supported across future versions of Kibana.

The internal APIs for creating custom visualizations are in a state of heavy churn as they are being migrated to the new Kibana platform, and large refactorings have been happening across minor releases in the 7.x series. In particular, in 7.5 and later we have made significant changes to the legacy APIs as we work to gradually replace them.

As a result, starting in 7.5 we have removed the documentation for the legacy APIs to prevent confusion. We expect to be able to create new documentation later in 7.x when the visualizations plugin has been completed.

We would recommend waiting until later in 7.x to upgrade your plugins if possible. If you would like to keep up with progress on the visualizations plugin in the meantime, here are a few resources:
