Hi @luorobin and @Rajdipch, the data used to make that screenshot I attached looks like this. As long as you have values that are both source and destination (the destinations are sources of other rows, and so on and so on), you should get the effect of having multiple steps:

I know that was just a sample set of rows, but appears that whenever NoteExportActivity is the source, NotepadActivity is the destination and vice versa. If you have instances where NoteExport is the source, Notepad is the destination, and then Notepad being a source with Login being the destination, then you would see Notepad showing up in the middle. Right now it is just a direct relationship between those 2 values even though it goes two ways.
@Jesse I have data in the form of parent, child node similar to your dataset. But when I create sankey using the dataset I have it creates a one step sankey. Can you please explain if you did any custom calculations on quicksight?
Hi @nimo - In general, Sankeys are really only for a single measurement and are meant to show the distribution of that measurement across N dimensions (in QS we support 2 dimensions). Sounds like you have 2 measures (num of dogs, num of ticks) and 1 dimension (dog type). For this a scatter plot would be best type of visualization in my opinion.
To be a bit more clear in my request, I'll include a screencap to show what I'm experiencing.
As you can see, the gauges are showing the correct avg scores, but on the sankey, the avg scores are off.
I'm seeing the same problem on one of my apps. If we have one chart that sums and one chart that counts then we get the correct figures. If we have a chart that gets the average by dividing the sum by the count we get a completely incorrect result. It's almost like it's working out the average values for the final dimension of the chart and then adding them together.
Hi, don't have a solution yet, but just wanted to point out that it seems like the way the Sankey chart works is whatever you put as the expression, it does a sum of it.
This is explained in the manual as being because it can't split numbers on the left to the right, e.g. in your example above, because Arkansas has a value of 381, despite whatever the values 'should' be on the left, they have to add up to 381.
This is really annoying, because it means that the only thing that's actually accurate in 90% of circumstances where we want to use the Sankey is the size of the flow bars relative to each other, which is only useful at a glance.
Going to keep trying to find a way around it though.
/Edit: Ok, I think I might have it? Possibly? What I've done, is to change everything around so that I'm only using Sum in my Sankey chart expression. I'm not sure if this step is essential, but it certainly made life easier.
The next thing I did was to change my expression to be:
Sum(x) / count(distinct dimension1) / count(distinct dimension2) / count(distinct dimension3)
This 'seems' to have landed on the right figures, but I'll need to do some further testing to make sure.
I'm attempting to make a multi-level sankey visualization mapping src_ip to dest_ip and then dest_ip to dest_port. The high level is that I'm looking for a visualization to see who's connecting to what and on which port. Sankey is ideal because you can quickly see if multiple soruces are connecting to the same IP and port.
I can get the src_ip to dest_ip line, but the problem I'm having is branching from there to another level for the ports. Currently the port is just displayed when moused over. I'm feeding it with a four column table currently:
Sankey only accepts one source (from) and one target (to). So what this query does, is it tricks sankey to think the status is the "TO" when source or "FROM" is uri and status is the "FROM" when referer is the "TO" creating a 3 level chart uri --> status --> referer You can do this to create as many levels as needed. Just keep appending events where the TO of the previous group is the FROM for the next group.
That's definitely an interesting approach I didn't think of, appending the port to the destination IP, but I was hoping to get the second layer of the sankey if that was possible. I will be using this until I figure out how to do it the way I intend, though!
So it would seem that the data needs to be transformed a wee bit. I removed the line where FI_1 was both the source and target. I also changed the names to indicate they are a source or target. It seems to get it's knickers ina twist if there is a circular flow happening where the source and targets are the same name.
Interestingly when you download the sankey viz sample data and compare it to my data there does not appear to be much of a difference. There is a source, destination and measure fields where a value can be in the source and destination eg South Africa, France appear in both source and destination so appear with flows coming in and going out.
A sankey diagram is a visualization used to depict a flowfrom one set of values to another. The things being connected arecalled nodes and the connections arecalled links. Sankeys are best used when you want to show amany-to-many mapping between two domains (e.g., universities andmajors) or multiple paths through a set of stages (for instance,Google Analytics uses sankeys to show how traffic flows frompages to other pages on your web site).
Suppose you had two categories, A and B, that connect to threeother categories, X, Y, and Z. Some of those connections are heavierthan others. For instance, B has a thin connection to X and a muchthicker connection to Y.
To create a sankey chart, provide a set of rows, with eachcontaining information about one connection: from, to, andweight. Then use the google.visualization.Sankey() methodto initialize the chart and then the draw() method torender it:
Sankey charts have the ability to set custom colors for nodes and links. Both nodes and links can be given custom color palettes using their colors options (sankey.node.colors and sankey.link.colors, respectively). They can also be given different coloring modes using the colorMode option.
Rows: Each row in the table represents aconnection between two labels. The third column indicates the strengthof that connection, and will be reflected in the width of the pathbetween the labels.
With multilevel sankeys, it's sometimes nonobvious where nodes should be placed for optimal readability. The D3 layout engine experiments with different node layouts, stopping when sankey.iterations attempts have been made. The larger this number, the more pleasing the layout of complex sankeys, but it comes with a cost: the sankeys will take longer to render. Conversely, the shorter this number, the quicker your charts will render.
If set to true, use HTML-rendered (rather than SVG-rendered) tooltips. See Customizing Tooltip Content for more details. Note: customization of the HTML tooltip content via the tooltip column data role is not supported by the Bubble Chart visualization.

Fired when the user mouses over a visual entity. Passes back the row and column indices of the corresponding data table element. A bar correlates to a cell in the data table, a legend entry to a column (row index is null), and a category to a row (column index is null).

The chart is ready for external method calls. If you want to interact with the chart, and call methods after you draw it, you should set up a listener for this event before you call the draw method, and call them only after the event was fired.

There is a feature planned to reconcile such inconsistencies but that would force Solar+Battery to 1.2kW or House Load to 1.41k . I could just leave the old labels when this is done but not sure if this would make any sense. Reconcile parent and children state inconsistency Issue #37 MindFreeze/ha-sankey-chart GitHub
I am using kibana 8.7.0. And i have created a plugin folder in /etc/kibana and then started following the steps mentioned in the link. So basically sankey code is in this path
/etc/kibana/plugin/sankey_vis
Oh, In that case any other visualization that i can use to track my user journey? i have four fields in the elasticsearch document token, ip, timestamp and url. for every ip and token combination i want a graph to visualize the url visited along with timestamp.
Sankey's are great for showing flow, but if you are thinking of alternatives you could look at other options such as Chord (sometime called Edge diagrams), directed force graphs or even an Arc diagram. There are a few of these in the Vega examples repo that you could try out.
