I have built some line charts (with a lot of data) and I'm seeing charts that look like this:

Why would I be getting broken lines like this?? The data is continuous. Is there something I can do to fix this??

Could you provide a screenshot that includes the legend and the vis editor so I can see how it's configured? If you have a very large number of buckets it's possible the lines might be similarly colored by actually represent different buckets.

Also what version of Kibana and ES are you running? When I tried to reproduce the lines still connected dots even when there were gaps in between.
