Creating Metric Visualizations with the Time Series Visual Builder (TSVB) in Kibana 7.6
The TSVB is a powerful tool when creating visualizations from time series data. By using the TSVB to create metric visualizations, we can leverage the customizability of the interface to visually communicate our data in a highly readable way. In this hands-on lab, we will use the TSVB to create metric visualizations in Kibana.
