Hi @cande1gut,

No, unfortunately Kibana can only be used with Elasticsearch.

But you might be interested in using CrateDB together with Grafan by using the PostgreSQL-Endpoint:

> **[Pair CrateDB with Grafana 6.x for Time Series Data Visualization](https://crate.io/a/pair-cratedb-with-grafana-6-x/)**
>
> Pair CrateDB with Grafana 6.x, an open-source platform for data visualization. Perfect for working with time-series data.

best regards
