Hi  
I have three fields in the JSON like

"A": [  
"97.0"  
],  
"B": [  
"95.0"  
],  
"C": [  
"140.0"  
],  
...............  
...............

Want to draw a bar chart for the above with field name (A,B,C) in the X-axis and their value (97.0,95.0,140.0) in the Y-axis. How should i proceed ?

Regards

if you index your documents into something like: { name: A, value: 97} ...

then you can do a term split on name (for your x axis) and set value as a metric (probably average)

Hi  
@ppisljar  
I have converted the fields A, B and C to integer in filter section-

```
mutate {

                convert => {
                              "A" => "integer"
                              "B" => "integer"
                              "C" => "integer"

                 }
} 

```

Then i re-index the documents to get the above three fields as numbers.

Once fields are available, in the bar chart section i have choosen X-axis as @timestamp date ranges and the fields A, B and C in Y-axis under the max aggregation. The bar mode being normal. I got the following.
