Hi,  
We have 100 test instances to execute over a period of 10 days. Im currently following up the execution using a time series in Timelion. Can i have a sort of average line in Timelion that says that we must be executing atleast 10 test cases everyday to keep a healthy progress ?

A line which says this is where the numbers should fall to complete in time

Regards  
Kiran

Hi Guys,  
I just found out the solution for this. I did the following

.es(metric='count').aggregate(avg).cusum().color(violet)

I did a metric count and did the agggregate avg and calculated the cumulative sum.

I had to install timelion extras from here [https://github.com/rashidkpc/timelion-extras/tree/master](https://github.com/rashidkpc/timelion-extras/tree/master) to enable the aggregate function in timelion

Regards  
Kiran
