Kibana: Series labels

Created on 25 Apr 2015  路  44Comments  路  Source: elastic/kibana

It would be nice if we have an option to choose if we want to see the pie chart results on offline mode which don't require from us to hover the pie to see the results like the example below or online mode.
This feature is very good for presentation purposes, so we can take a dashboard screenshot and add this to the presentation.

The hovering will gives us further data, but the basic will be without hovering.

Agreed, this would be really nice to have. We'd have to come up with some kind of logic for determining when they are too many labels to show and disabling them automatically at that point. I suspect that isn't a very common case though so it shouldn't be too bad.

I agree completely. Without labels, our charts are just pretty colors.

This would be really useful for dashboard purposes (when the chart is displayed but not interacted with).

The logic should probably take into account how large of a slice it is, and only label ones that are deemed large enough. Especially with nested aggregations, there can be some really small slices that will show up.

Even just labeling the inner slices on this chart would give end-users a much better "at-a-glance" idea of what's going on.

Just an idea: for viewing multilevel pie charts (pie charts with nested aggregrations) online, if the donut view option is selected, you could display a bucket label (for my specific purposes, the field name, or a variation thereof, would be perfect) centered in the donut hole (perhaps in a relatively large, bold font?), as a tooltip. That might help users better understand what each level of the chart is displaying. Yes, I know that you already get a tooltip that includes the field name, so in a sense, what I'm suggesting is redundant, but I still think there's value in concisely highlighting to the user what the "ring" they're hovering over shows. Perhaps you could consider this idea when implementing #3402 ? For example, rather than displaying a tooltip in the donut hole (which requires the donut view option, although I guess you could dynamically display that hole as part of the tooltip, whether or not that option is selected), highlight the appropriate level-specific subheading in the legend?

And then there are touch devices to consider. No hovering. If your user interface relies on hovering to display labels, then, on touch devices, your charts are, to quote @bradvido, "just pretty colors".

+1, bar chart also needs.

4.2 can fix it?

Would like to see values and percentages on pie slices as Kibana 3 had.

I would definitely like to see "omitted" labels counted and shown as other.
Make it optional if it is not desired.

and also mine

this is really annoying that we don't get this. people stick to their static reports which provide that OOB
