I have an index which contains a number of timestamp fields, eg:

```
{
  "docId": 1,
  "action1Timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.100Z",
  "action2Timestamp": "2024-01-02T00:00:00.100Z",
  "action3Timestamp": "2024-01-03T00:00:00.100Z"
}

{
  "docId": 2,
  "action1Timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.100Z",
  "action2Timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.200Z",
  "action3Timestamp": "2024-01-05T00:00:00.100Z"
}

etc

```

I would like to visualise the date histograms of each of these timestamps as lines on a single chart. The time range of these fields is more or less the same. So I want to be able to see a line for action1Timestamp, another for action2Timestamp, etc.

When I try to work out how to do this, I can only seem to specify one of the fields in the histogram.

Is it possible to do what I want somehow?

Hi @ankh

it should be possible with Lens.  
You can create a layer with a date histogram for each field, then use a `Count` operation. Then pick the `Line chart` as chart type.
