Kibana dashboard is not displaying data

The chart on a Kibana dashboard looks empty without any data.

Solution

  1. Verify the dashboard title. Check if the correct dashboard is open.
  2. Some graphs on a dashboard require filtering. Select a value for each dashboard filter to see if the expected graph is being populated with data.

  3. Verify the time interval which is set for a dashboard display. Check the duration of the time interval and if it covers the expected time interval.
    Note: Set shorter time interval, especially for hourly anomalies dedicated graphs (for example, time span for few days only).
  4. Verify if all expected data streams are active. In Kibana, navigate to Management > Stack Management > Data > Index Management > Data Streams and verify if health status for all expected data streams is green or yellow.
    Note: Missing data streams might indicate issues with Logstash. Verify if Logstash configuration file has the correct data stream names included. For the list of data stream indexes, see Configuring OMEGAMON Data Connect.

    Red health status of data stream might indicate issues with server disk space and/or Elasticsearch availability. For further troubleshooting, see Elasticsearch is not available.

  5. On the Kibana dashboard, check the past time periods to find if there is some data displayed in the past. Find the date and time since there is no new data displayed. For further troubleshooting, see Missing latest data.
