I want to create forecast for all distinct values in "versions" field using single metric viewer- forecast in anomaly detection but unfortunately there are no anomalies for 6 versions and anomalies exists for only two and I'm able to create forecast for that entries but I also want to create forecast for all other versions. That is I want to create forecast for both anomalous and non-anomalous values. how can I do that using kibana's anomaly detection feature. I'm using advanced job here ---

Forecasting is used to project the trends of the data into the future. It is impossible to forecast anomalies, because, by definition, anomalies are unexpected events.
