Hi. i'm using Timelion in Kibana 6.4.1

im using 'metric:avg'.

if documents doesn't exist at a certain time, Timelion doesn't show at that time.

i want to show all of value about each interval time including that doesn't exist documents at a certain time.

can i config '0' as default Y-Axis value?

A config of '0' isn't strictly possible, but you can use the `fit` function to have Timelion interpolate missing data points:

I was able to get what you want by essentially running the expression twice, but that will not be very performant. The second time is within an `if` function call that translates anything that isn't greater than 0 to 0:

```auto
.es(index='hass-events-*', timefield='@timestamp', metric='avg:attributes.battery').if(operator='gt', if=0, then=.es(index='hass-events-*', timefield='@timestamp', metric='avg:attributes.battery'), else=0)

```

thx for your response 😄

i will try this.

by the way, can i using this feature in Visual Builder??

Timelion and Visual Builder is look similar and both are good visualize.

but Visual Builder look good a little for me

i cant find similar property like 'fit' or 'if' in Visual Builder
