# Kibana Vega

Create and manage Kibana dashboards and Vega visualizations with ES|QL data sources.

## Overview

Vega is a declarative visualization grammar for creating custom charts in Kibana. Combined with ES|QL queries, it
enables highly customized visualizations beyond standard Kibana charts.

**Important Version Requirement:** This skill strictly supports **ES|QL data sources** and requires **Serverless Kibana
or version 9.4+ (SNAPSHOT)**. It will not work reliably on older versions or with older Lucene/KQL data source
definitions.
