Pie chart as sum of multiple fields

[PhaedrusTheGreek]

Given the following data, would it be possible to provide a special sort of pie chart where each piece of the pie is the sum of a particular field?

PUT pie-test/test/1
{
    "metric" : {
        "wait" : 2.33,
        "idle" : 4.22,
        "user" : 2.11,
        "system" : 2.2
    }
}

PUT pie-test/test/2
{
    "metric" : {
        "wait" : 3.33,
        "idle" : 11.22,
        "user" : 100.11,
        "system" : 2.2
    }
}

This is spawned from a question in IRC. There's also the same question here.

I can see how this would be useful, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a good way to fit this into Kibana's existing buckets and metrics model.

If pie chart allowed you to split the pie using metrics instead of buckets, it would work. Then you would just need to add the 4 metrics and don't add any buckets and it would work. Maybe if there was a "metric" bucket that let you select which metrics to use.

[Bargs]

Thanks @trevan, you make a good point, now that I think about there is some precedent for this in the bar chart, which can split bars across different metrics. We would just need to make sure that multi metrics don't allow multiple buckets, or if multiple buckets are selected they have to be a split chart, not split slices.

This seems like a reasonable request, so I removed the discuss label

Pardon the accidental close.

I believe this special pie chart - which would name the variables for the slices - would in pratice be similar to a spider chart? e.g. see

This would be very nice to have. I have to deal with significant data (not too many documents, but thousands of fields per document) and I'm trying to move away from Excel - its these little things that I didnt expect that bite when least expected under testing.

Right now I use Vertical Bar chart (stacked) to make sense of these, but a pie-chart just is just more intuitive for the reader.

The problem with relying too heavily on plugins is that you are at the mercy of a third party for features. kibi_radar_vis looks awesome, but it doesn't install on 6.0.0alpha2. Why am I trialing an alpha2? Because it lets me search through fields to visualise and a drop down is not very helpful when it has 2500+ entries.

As a whole, awesome work guys - data is cheap, information is hard.

Hey, I've been wondering if there is any progress regarding this issue?

[Kolano]

This is missing the ":Pie Chart" label

[w00tedness]

Has there been any developments on this feature?

It is already possible to create a stacked percentage bar chart using multiple Y-axes. Since a donut chart is—in a way—just a bent stacked percentage bart, I don't think the underlying data structure is prohibitive in any way to implement this.

Hi @jan . This issue was completed. Follow the docs to build a multi-metric donut chart.
