elasticsearch kibana kibana-4

I'm testing Kibana 4 for a project.

I have created an index from my database table which is composed by 3 fields:

  1. Date
  2. User
  3. Action

I would like to display my index as a simple table (3 column, N rows) in my dashboard.

I tried to use "Data table" visualization but I can't find a way to display my results without any Metrics (Count, Sum etc...)

Maybe is pretty simple and I missed something... is there a way to do this?

Regards,

On the Discover tab, create a view that has just the fields you want and then save that as a search.

On the Dashboard tab, hit the + button to add a widget, but if you look at the top, there's a Searches tab. Select that and add your saved search in.
