So, we have covered how to create different types of visualizations in Kibana; now, let's see how we can integrate different types of visualizations to create the dashboard. Dashboards are quite useful, as they provide us with a single view to monitor the KPI. To create a dashboard in Kibana, we need to do the following:

1. Click on the Dashboard link from the left-hand menu, which will open the dashboards page with a list of the existing dashboards.
2. We can click on any existing dashboard to open the dashboard. But as we want to create a new one, click on the Create new dashboard button in the top-right corner of the page.
3. This will open a blank page with the message This dashboard is empty. Let’s fill it up!.
4. Click on the Add button to add the visualizations; this will open Add Panels screen, as shown here:

In the preceding screenshot, we have the visualization and saved search options from where we can add already-saved visualizations or we can add new visualizations. We can search the visualization using the search box and can click on the name of the visualization to add that to the dashboard panel. In this way, we can add all those visualizations that we want to show on the dashboard panel.

Here is a link that has a screenshot of the dashboard view after adding some visualizations on the dashboard page: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learning-Kibana-7-Second-Edition/tree/master/Images

As visible in the screenshot, we have added a metric visualization, bar chart, pie chart, line chart, tag cloud, area chart, data table, and heatmap visualization to the dashboard. After creating the dashboard, we can do a lot of things, and the following are some options that we can perform with the dashboard:

1. We can save it by clicking on the Save link from the top-right links. After saving the dashboard, we can click on the Edit link to edit the dashboard. In edit mode, we can do the following things:
   1. Rearrange the visualization panels by dragging and dropping them into the desired location.
   2. Edit the visualization by clicking on the Edit visualization link under Panel settings.
   3. We can inspect individual visualization data by clicking on the Inspect link under the Panel settings.
   4. The visualization can be viewed in full screen by clicking on the Full screen link under Panel settings.
   5. We can change the label of the visualization by clicking on the Customize panel link under Panel settings.
   6. We can also delete any visualization from a dashboard by clicking on the Delete from dashboard link under Panel settings.
2. We can apply the dark theme, and we can hide/unhide panel titles or show/hide margins between panels by clicking on the Options link from the top-left links.
