Kibana: Plot document values instead of aggregation

[timmolter]

I've seen it discussed before and was hoping it'd be present in the 1.5 release. It would be nice to be able to plot a single value (no aggregation) over time for creating line charts.

The corresponding ES query would look something like this:

{"fields":["signal"],"sort":[{"ts":{"order":"desc"}}],"size":200,"query":{"match_all":{}}}

and the GUI that would be required to support this would need to get the field to plot and the number of points from now into the past.

What are your thoughts??

+1 for scatter plot, it's a very useful way to identify outliers...

Plotting every event is really not feasible in datasets with millions of events. While you could limit it, we really don't want to do that. The way to handle this really is to use aggregations and instead of plotting the actual number, plot the average. If you're looking for outliers you could plot the average, the min and the max of the field.

While you could limit it, we really don't want to do that.

All plots in Kibana are limited in some way, so I don't buy this argument. All dashboards have a time filter and the ES queries are designed to return a condensed result set.

A scatter plot is useful, and it seems to me like an obviously missing feature. Some examples would be to show the temperature of a sensor over time, the RPM of a motor over time, or the stock price over time. For data like this you want to see the exact values and just plotting the last N values by limiting it with the size parameter in the ES search allows you to limit the set nicely.

This is also useful for sparse data where events happen once a day or less.

Please add, desperately need to graph actual values

Is this implemented?

No
