@clickandmortar/kibana-url-builder v0.7.2

Kibana URL builder

This library allows building Kibana URLs, for instance when sending notifications.

:warning: Generated Kibana URLs have currently been tested on Kibana 6.x only.

Usage

# Using npm
npm install @clickandmortar/kibana-url-builder

# Using Yarn
yarn add @clickandmortar/kibana-url-builder

const kub = require('@clickandmortar/kibana-url-builder')

const url = kub.buildDiscoverUrl({
    host: 'http://kibana:5601',
    columns: ['_source'],
    filters: [],
    query: 'my query'
})

// url = http://kibana:5601/app/kibana#/discover?_g=(time:(from:now-15m,mode:quick,to:now))&_a=(columns:!(_source),filters:!(),interval:auto,query:(language:lucene,query:'my query'),sort:!('@timestamp',desc))

Methods

buildDiscoverUrl ({ host, refreshInterval, period, columns, filters, index, interval, query, sort }: KibanaDiscoverUrlBuildParameters): string

This method returns a stateless Kibana "Discover" URL, which can be shared and used by anyone having access to the Kibana instance.

Filters

When using filters, you must provide the index pattern name using index property.

Supported filter types:

• Exists / Not exists (type = exists)
• Is / Is not (type = query)
• One of / Not one of (type = phrases)
• Between / Not between (type = range)

"Not" filters can be used setting the negate property of the filter to true.

All filters are of type KibanaQueryFilter and share the following properties:

Exists / Not exists

{
  type: 'exists',
  field: 'statusCode'
}

Is / Is not

{
  type: 'query',
  field: 'namespace',
  value: 'kube-system'
}

One of / Not one of

{
  type: 'phrases',
  field: 'namespace',
  value: ['kube-system', 'default']
}

Between / Not between

{
  type: 'range',
  field: 'statusCode',
  value: [400, 499]
}

Period

Three period presets are available:

• quick and relative: dates using Elasticsearch Date Math, ie. now, now-7d, etc.
• absolute: absolute dates

Quick & Relative periods

{
  from: 'now-7d',
  to: 'now',
  mode: 'quick'
}

Absolute periods

{
  from: '2021-03-31T22:00:00.000Z',
  to: '2021-04-02T21:59:59.999Z',
  mode: 'absolute'
}

Testing
