Kibana: Option to hide a series without data in Timelion

[tommikiviniemi-srs]

Feature request: Option to NOT display a line/label if a series didn't have any data points in Timelion.

Use case: We have several graphs made in Timelion where we display several lines in the same chart. It'd be appreciated if there was an option to NOT display the line/label at all if no data points were found.

In the above scenario, we have some charts that are split and those only display splits that contain data. We also have other charts where we manually restrict the query. There's a discrepancy in the visualisation between these two types as the split charts don't display the line/label for series that come out empty, while the manually constructed lines always show the line/label.

In other words, doing an .es(q='eventName', split:'xxx') doesn't display lines for splits that didn't contain data, while doing a bunch of .es(q='eventName AND somethingElse') will always display the lines, even if no data points were found. Would be cool if you could do something like .es(q='eventName AND somethingElse', displayEmpty=false) or similar.

Agree with the bug label as Timelion displaying a line/label for an empty series works differently than any other chart type without data, or with empty split series in Timelion. It should probably not even be an option to display the line/label for an empty series.
